Before joining Carpmaels & Ransford, Selina trained and practised at one of London’s leading IP firms, gaining experience in many aspects of patent litigation, as well as general commercial litigation and non-contentious IP matters.  During her training contract, Selina also spent 6 months on secondment at a multinational medical devices company, gaining experience in various areas of commercial and regulatory law.  Prior to her legal training, Selina obtained a Masters degree in Chemistry from the University of Oxford and spent her final year investigating the possibility of “artificial photosynthesis”, using enzymes as renewable catalysts for the conversion of water into oxygen.

Outside of work, Selina enjoys creating handmade cards and gifts, and is also a keen baker.
