Mr Rankine has honours degrees in medicine and biological science as well as five years' experience as a practising clinician prior to practising as a lawyer, which makes him a strong addition to the DibbsBarker team with unrivalled industry knowledge.
DibbsBarker’s Intellectual Property, Technology & Competition team head Melissa McGrath has described Mr Rankine’s appointment as “a huge coup for our team, and for the firm as a whole”.
“Andrew is a triple threat – he is a technically excellent lawyer on both the litigation and advisory sides of the coin, and he has unrivalled industry insight with his background in the healthcare sector,” Ms McGrath said.
DibbsBarker recently picked up partners Mark Baker-Jones from DLA Piper and Brad Allen from Clayton Utz.
