A number of our trainees and associates are celebrating an excellent set of exam results.
Lianne Da-Cunha successfully completed her final EQE (European Qualifying Examination) paper and is now dual-qualified in both Europe and the UK, having already qualified as a UK Chartered Patent Attorney in 2025.
Timothy Bone completed all four of his final EQE exams and is now a qualified European Patent Attorney. He has been promoted to Associate within the firm.




Elliot Farrell and Niama Knapp also passed a number of their European examinations – with commendable grades – and continue working towards their full qualifications.
Commenting on these excellent results, Managing Partner Matt Shaw said:
On behalf of everyone at Forresters, I would like to congratulate our colleagues on their achievements. This excellent set of exam results reflects the dedication, perseverance and professionalism they have shown throughout their studies. We are committed to supporting the development of talented people at Forresters, and I look forward to seeing Lianne, Tim, Elliot and Niama continue to flourish and make valuable contributions to the firm in the years to come.
