Paul Northwood founded the firm with former partner Christine Reid in 2007. Paul has over 30 years' experience of advising on intellectual property and technology issues in both the private and public sectors. His experience as a former litigator adds real value when he is advising on commercial contracts and the licensing of intellectual property. Paul was a partner at the Oxford office of a Thames Valley law firm and before that he was with MacFarlanes in London.

Paul's expertise includes advising on patent licensing, the ownership, protection and exploitation of intellectual property and on spin out transactions.

Paul has provided legal support to Oxford University Innovation Limited, the technology transfer office of the University of Oxford, for over 10 years on technology licensing and has advised on the formation and funding rounds of over a hundred university spin outs.
