Intellectual property (IP) is a key asset that requires unique legal protection to help you reap long-term financial and competitive benefits for you and your business.
We provide pragmatic commercial advice to help you enforce your rights or defend an action brought against you in an efficient and cost-effective way.
Our intellectual property team is made up of experienced lawyers, dual-qualified practitioners and specialist trade mark attorneys and we're proud to be recognised by The Legal 500 for our "strong experience" and Chambers and Partners for demonstrating "excellent expertise, an approachable attitude, experience and responsiveness". We're in the perfect position to provide a complete contentious and non-contentious IP service offering, through in-house attorney services, litigation advice and commercial contracts services.
We can help you safeguard your investments in IP through the protection and registration of your brands, inventions and designs. Our team can also help you maximise the value of that IP through the exploitation and licensing of your registered and unregistered rights, including trade marks, patents, designs, copyright, confidential information and know-how.
We can advise you on bringing, or defending, disputes related to the enforcement and infringement of IP. This includes passing off claims and company name and domain name disputes.
