Clark is a patent litigation expert with more than 25 years’ of IP litigation and commercial law experience in China. Since 2010, Clark has practiced as a barrister appearing in IP cases and appeals at all levels in Hong Kong.
Prior to becoming a barrister, Clark spent nearly 18 years with Hogan Lovells, where he established the firm’s Mainland China IP practice. He also founded and served as managing partner of that firm’s Shanghai office.
