Senior Associate
Julie is a former life scientist, having been a post-doctoral research assistant at institutions including Harvard University and the University of Edinburgh. She advises clients on IP and commercial contracts, including IP protection and commercialisation, e-commerce and IT agreements. Julie is also an expert on data protection matters and private equity investments.
Julie is a part of our IP and IT team ranked by Legal 500 (Julie was noted as a "Rising Star").
Julie has advised on commercial contracts, IP and data protection since 2012 and has considerable expertise in these areas. She is also part of Morton Fraser's corporate team and regularly advises her clients on matters such as private equity investments, share option schemes and company restructuring.
Having been seconded to Edinburgh Research and Innovation, the Roslin Institute and Historic Environment Scotland, Julie has extensive in house experience which is invaluable to her public sector clients.
Julie is actively involved with mentoring entrepreneurs, and particularly enjoys engaging with life science companies where she finds her research background invaluable. Julie is an Enterprise Partner at Strathclyde University.
I followed Julie Nixon to Morton Fraser from another practice as she has great skills, a background in relevant science, and most importantly can find solutions that meet NeemCo's aims, whilst at the same time being realistic about the needs of other parties. Julie has been pro-active in her work with us, most recently relating to Assignation of IP.
