Baker McKenzie has hired a Sydney-based intellectual property and technology partner from Norton Rose Fulbright.
Helen Macpherson joins the firm with 20 years' experience and a reputation as "a high stakes IP litigator, with a particular focus on large scale patent litigation," Baker McKenzie said in a statement.
Macpherson works across several industry sectors, including healthcare in respect to pharmaceuticals, life sciences and medical devices; consumer goods and retail; agribusiness; and technology, media and telecommunications.
She joined Norton Rose Fulbright in 2017 and made partner in January this year. Before that, she spent nearly two decades with legacy Freehills—and later Herbert Smith Freehills—most recently as executive counsel.
"She brings a wealth of experience in a broad range of IP litigation but particularly in the patent area where we have an existing capability both globally and locally. Helen's skills and experience will assist to develop further the strength of that offering both in the pharma and technology areas," Baker McKenzie's head of IPTech in Australia Andrew Stewart said in a statement.
Norton Rose Fulbright declined to comment.
