Steven Gurney

Role at Evolve:

Patent Attorney (Founder)

EPA, CPA, MIPLaw

Steven is focused on maximising the potential of his pharmaceutical and life science clients. As the founder of Evolve Intellectual Property in 2021, he brings a passion for developing robust IP strategies and providing expert counsel.   

A highly skilled life science patent attorney with over 20 years of combined in-house and private practice experience, Steven is qualified as a European, UK, and Australian patent attorney. His recognition in legal directories includes LEGAL 500 (2024, 2025), IP STARS (2024, 2025), and IAM Patent 1000 (2024).

Steven’s expertise spans pharmaceuticals, drug development and IP, drafting, portfolio management and prosecution, lifecycle management, licensing (in- and out-), due diligence and FTO, contentious work (including litigation and opposition), and regulatory exclusivities like PTE/SPC.

Beyond his professional life, Steven enjoys pursuing sporting challenges or stand-up paddleboarding on the River Cam. At the weekend, he might be found trying to make the perfect pizza. He also encourages his daughters’ sports and activities (this mostly involves being a taxi).

Steven Gurney is an extremely experienced life sciences patent attorney. He is strategic and commercial in his outlook and analysis. Very client-friendly and a safe pair of hands.
