An inquest in London into the tragic death earlier this year of Hogan Lovells senior intellectual property partner David Latham has heard evidence that the 58-year-old lawyer leapt in front of a Tube train and killed himself due to work-related stresses.

On Friday morning, February 15, the train entered Notting Hill Gate station for the London Underground and struck and killed Latham, a married father of three from the nearby Kensington neighborhood. His sudden death shocked family, friends, and colleagues, who knew Latham as a likeable, honest, and loyal man with a passion for IP.
