Steven Suèr joined Murgitroyd’s Aberdeen office in 2018 as a Director, having previously worked with several other IP attorney firms, holding partner roles in both firms.

Steven’s extensive experience in the field of IP and senior management roles means that he has much to offer Murgitroyd’s clients in terms of his legal and technical expertise, as well as his client management experience.
