He has experience in small molecule pharmaceuticals and cellular technology, particularly stem cell biology. He also works on polymer technology, diagnostic technology and medical devices.

Michael works closely with clients to advise on European and global filing strategies. That extends to obtaining and opposing patent term extensions (SPCs) and advising on regulatory and orphan drug issues. He is regularly involved in contentious work, including due diligence advice and infringement and validity opinions, and attendance at EPO opposition and appeal proceedings.
