Charlotte Dale

I graduated from Imperial College London with a BSc in biochemistry and subsequently obtained an MSc in the management of intellectual property from Queen Mary, London. During my studies at Imperial, I worked for a year as a research assistant at a major international pharmaceutical company, where I became particularly interested in stem cell technologies.

I joined Forresters in 2006 and since then have specialised in all aspects of patent law in the UK and overseas. I am primarily involved in the drafting and prosecution of patent applications in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Outside of work, I swap my suit for a dry suit and head to UK coasts to go scuba diving. I have been diving all around the world, with my favourite locations being the Red Sea, Spain and the Seychelles, where I was involved in a marine conservation project. When I am not in the water, I also enjoy running and playing hockey.
