Bob Barnes

IP Systems and Business Development Director

Bob joined the firm in 2000 and is integral to SH&P as our IP Systems and Business Development Director, with key responsibilities for maintaining and developing all the systems and processes that make sure SH&P runs smoothly and efficiently every day, as well as developing new business by interfacing with clients, law firms and new leads.

Bob has particular expertise in new trade mark portfolio integrations and client-driven system modifications and adaptions to meet particular client needs. Over the years he has overseen the complete overhaul and integration of a new IP records system, as well as the introduction of a new accounts system.

Outside of work Bob has organised various charity events raising over £70,000 for great causes. When he is not on a charity challenge you will probably either find him in the gym or on the rugby pitch playing for the Bristol Barbarians.
