Part of the Stobbs team from the off, Jessica brings a wealth of experience to a role that is close to her heart. Finding that life doesn't always send you down the expected path, Jessica moved from team leadership to a rewarding and unusual role that she believes sets Stobbs apart in our commitment to care for our clients and our staff.

Taking in a huge range of opportunities and responsibilities, Jessica is now part of our top-flight squad that steps in wherever needed to support clients, teams and individuals at important moments. The role draws on Jessica's experience guiding her clients through all aspects of trade mark strategy, development and enforcement, and her balanced and thorough approach to the resolution of conflict. Whether it is putting another shoulder to the wheel during a global clearance project, managing client portfolios and teams to provide seamless cover over colleagues' holidays, or joining a team longer-term to cover parental leave and train our newest recruits, Jessica's days are varied, often challenging, and never dull.

Jessica is a Chartered trade mark and design attorney, has a degree in Philosophy from UCL and half a masters in History of Design from the RCA. She spends her spare time acclimatising to life away from London and discovering a new political zeal in support of the ever-dangled Northern Powerhouse.
