Introducing Wendy

I began as a polymer chemist, but my passion shifted toward supporting the journey of innovation rather than conducting research. Becoming a patent attorney allowed me to transition into safeguarding groundbreaking technologies.

At EP&C, I work with clients ranging from startups to multinationals, helping them tackle challenges like patent protection and navigating freedom-to-operate analyses. I thrive on the diversity of my role—each project introduces me to new inventions and technologies. I enjoy unraveling complex technical details, providing clear guidance, and supporting innovators as they bring their ideas to life. It’s deeply rewarding to help innovations grow and succeed.

I love unraveling complex technologies, guiding clients to protect their innovations, and seeing their ideas thrive
