Whatever the challenge facing your brand, we will find the right solution for you.
Finding an IP advisor who thinks both critically and imaginatively can make all the difference to the success of your brand. We are your one-stop shop: focused strategic input and high-volume efficiency from one team. You will get timely, clear, usable advice whenever you interact with us, from people who are easy to work with and fully committed to your brand’s lasting success.
We draw on our broad spectrum of experience in IP rights. Our work spans all areas of brand protection including trade marks, copyright, designs and advertising – and in light of language and cultural nuances. Our international filing practice manages over 75,000 live marks so you benefit from economies of scale – and experience. Our insights from litigating and licensing brands inform how we advise on strategies for protecting them with suitable registrations. In reverse, what we learn from our portfolio work feeds directly into our litigation and commercial work. When we've fought hard to secure protection for a brand, we are well placed to know its strength and advise accordingly.
Our market-leading position in IP means that we are well placed to spot changes in the world around us and advise you on breaking news, which means you have more time to exploit fresh opportunities or mitigate risks. We deliver tailored training and industry insights, from our international brand protection guide On Your Marks to our Brands Forum events.
