In memoriam, Siân Edmonds, 1989-2025

Siân Edmonds, Associate Director in our Intellectual Property Disputes team, was tragically killed by a car in early July 2025 while on holiday.

After studying for a Master's Degree in Chemistry at Oxford University, and working on community development projects for VSO in Nepal, Siân trained as a solicitor at Osborne Clarke and qualified into the Intellectual Property Disputes team. She was a colleague of ours for more than 8 years, recently being promoted to Associate Director. She was universally respected and a vital member of the IP team. She was fiercely intelligent, well liked, kind and had a wry sense of humour.  

Siân was equally accomplished in both trade mark work and technical patent disputes, and was relied on by colleagues across the entire firm. While she had many talents, we will especially miss her generosity of spirit, brilliant mind and her tranquil force.

May she rest in peace.

In memory of Siân, her family is fundraising for the Access Project, an organization that helps talented young people from disadvantaged backgrounds reach top universities so they can realise their potential and access a range of more rewarding careers. You can donate here.
