What can I do for you

Katy's specialism lies in advising on commercial contracts across the IP, IT, technology and life sciences sectors.  Her work ranges from drafting and negotiating IT outsourcing arrangements, IP licensing agreements and general commercial contracts to dealing with life science specific contracts including consortium agreements, research and development collaborations and associated supply agreements.

Supporting your ambitions

One of Katy's work highlights to date was to draft for a not for profit organisation a series of template research and development agreements.  Katy helped the client, through clear and careful drafting, to achieve its aim of producing commercially comprehensive drafts to protect its position whilst also being transparent and understandable to those working with the templates on a day to day basis.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
