Thank you
In her role as a Trade Mark Assistant, Amber works closely with the firm’s experienced trade mark attorneys, providing support and contributing to the management of trade mark portfolios for a diverse range of clients.
Prior to joining Keltie LLP, Amber gained practical experience in the field of trade marks by volunteering at the Nottingham Law School Legal Clinic. This experience allowed her to work directly with clients, assisting them with a variety of trade mark related matters.
Amber earned her Bachelor of Arts and Law (LLB) degree from the University of Cape Town. Motivated to further specialise in intellectual property law, Amber pursued a master’s degree in Intellectual Property Law at Nottingham Trent University in the United Kingdom and was awarded the Nottingham law school prize for outstanding LLM achievement. Her research interests led her to explore the intersection of cultural appropriation and intellectual property in the fashion industry, providing her with a nuanced understanding of the legal and ethical considerations in this evolving domain.
Amber joined Keltie, based in our London Office as a Trade Mark Assistant in January 2023.
