Athene joined JMW in January 2024 as a Solicitor in the Commercial department, having previously completed her training contract with a specialist media law firm in London and Brussels.
Athene advises on a range of commercial matters and has experience in commercial, data protection and intellectual property work, with a particular focus on the media and entertainment sector.
Athene has also spent valuable time working in-house on secondment to one of the world’s leading fast quick service restaurant chains, and prior to joining JMW, as Junior Legal Counsel at a film and TV production company. As a result, Athene has a clear understanding of the commercial drivers influencing our clients as well as the demands placed on in-house lawyers, and uses this insight to provide clear, considered, and pragmatic advice.

Outside of work, Athene enjoys playing music and attending concerts, practicing yoga, travelling, and learning languages.
