Ben is a sought after speaker and writer on intellectual property issues, particularly in the fields of trade marks, branding, and commercialisation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ben is exceptional in that before becoming an IP lawyer, he had a successful career first in marketing in the UK and in New Zealand, working for several local and international brands, and then in-house with two well known brand agencies in New Zealand. This experience gives him invaluable insights into how best to advise and support brands and creative agencies, which in turn has driven Ben\u2019s passion for advising on and resolving disputes concerning registered or common law trade mark rights, domain names, copyright rights, registered designs, fair trading issues and confidential information.<\/p>\n<p>Ben says: \u201cI am thrilled to be joining the James &amp; Wells Partnership.
