Expertise Summary

  • Malcolm is a strategic general counsel with a strong record of building and leading legal functions for high‑growth consumer brands, both in-house and at large law firms.
  • Most recently, he has operated as senior counsel/general counsel equivalent for a fast-growing consumer brand, where he designed and implemented the legal strategy to support a billion‑dollar growth target, led the global IP portfolio (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets), and cut outside IP counsel spend by more than 50% through hands‑on management and targeted enforcement.
  • Previously, as Chief IP Counsel and then senior counsel for a large consumer goods aggregator owning 300+ international brands, he built the IP/legal function from the ground up—from a team of one to a multi‑lawyer and paralegal team—while handling complex brand, IP, and commercial issues in a fast‑paced environment.
