Evelina specialises in multi-jurisdictional contentious patent matters, with a particular focus on Life Sciences & Healthcare and the Tech & Comms sector.

When she joined Bird & Bird in 2005, she was involved in a broad range of intellectual property tasks, including patents, trademarks, designs, domain names and unfair competition, both in contentious and non-contentious matters, for clients active in different sectors.

Frassi, Kluwer Trademark Litigation Smart Charts), and she is a member of the Editorial Board of EPLAW Patent Blog and of the European Copyright and Design Reports (Sweet & Maxwell).
