Call Zara
Zara specialises in the intersection of intellectual property law, innovation and technology. She also has an affinity for Big Tech regulation, information management, privacy and digital rights within AI.
Within these areas of law, she has provided legal advice to a wide range of clients, ranging from developing strategies to providing (partial) advice on various topics.
