Her earlier career in international physics research enables her to work effectively with parties from a wide range of cultures and professional backgrounds. Her technical experience spans physics and engineering, with particular focus on climate technology and maritime innovation. As a patent attorney she advises on intellectual property and innovation in shipping and sustainable technology, supporting startup founders, SMEs, and international counsel.

This pragmatic approach contributes to more durable and commercially workable resolutions. She has conducted IP audits for Innovate UK and for private clients, developing practical IP strategies to support business plans and investor engagement.

Brief description

Veronika combines facilitative and transformative mediation, adapting her approach in real time to the parties’ needs. As a seasoned patent attorney, she understands that high-stakes intellectual property disputes are driven by both complex legal rights and intense emotional undercurrents. Veronika empowers parties to uncover the underlying interests and motivations on both sides. This approach reduces polarisation between the parties and helps them reach a mutually acceptable agreement, making maintaining critical business relationships much more likely.
