With more than fifteen years legal experience she most recently worked at CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP in London and specialises in brand awareness and protection in the commercial sector , with client expertise spanning telecommunications, broadcast and luxury goods.

Yvonne is highly skilled in providing advice and commercially-focused IP solutions and strategies across all areas of protection and enforcement. Her role at Wynne-Jones will see her support the firm’s leading Trade Mark Attorney, Victor Caddy, and focus on strengthening the output of the trade mark team through the introduction of new working practices that deliver optimal client satisfaction.
Xuesong Yang joins Wynne-Jones’ Cardiff office which now boasts more than a dozen staff and is overseen by long-serving European Patent Attorney and Partner, Elliott Davies. Xuesong began her career in China as a technician and mechanical test engineer and qualified more than eight years ago.

We welcome them both to the Wynne-Jones family.”
