Liam Batty

Liam has joined Mewburn Ellis as a Trainee Lawyer and will be working out of the London office. Liam will be assisting the firm’s Legal team in all aspects of their work, whether this be contentious or non-contentious.

Area of Expertise

• Dispute resolution and aspects of the litigation process
• Pan-European patent enforcement

Background

Liam has worked on a range of intellectual property disputes, from copyright to complex patent litigation, in a variety of forums, including the newly formed UPC. He also has extensive experience in the management and coordination of pan-European enforcement cases in the life sciences sector.

Liam's experience to date has been gained as a litigation paralegal, but alongside this he has obtained his legal qualifications and hopes to qualify as a UK solicitor shortly. This route to qualification demonstrates Liam’s tenacity and work ethic—both qualities he brings to his work for clients.

Outside of work, Liam loves anything to do with sport. He mostly enjoys playing rugby in his spare time but also takes part in endurance sports. After completing his first ultramarathon in the summer of 2025, he has set his sights on completing a full Ironman.
