Clients seek our intellectual property legal advice and intellectual property legal services across a wide range of commercial arrangements involving the creation, development and commercialising intellectual property. These arrangements often centre on clients’ most valuable assets – their inventions, ideas, technologies, brands, designs, software and content – and require specialist commercial IP services grounded in both legal and technical expertise.
We work with a wide variety of clients, ranging from start-ups and SMEs to household names and global multinationals to academic institutions, charities and government bodies. Our clients come from every business sector including life sciences, IT, electronics, telecommunications, industrial, chemical, education, charities, publishing, digital media, branding and consumer products.
Our team advises on a wide variety of transactions involving the creation, development and commercialisation of intellectual property, the majority of which are cross-border. These matters include high-value research collaborations, licensing arrangements, brand licensing and merchandising, and the intellectual property aspects of corporate and joint venture transactions, all underpinned by robust intellectual property agreements. Many of our lawyers have extensive technical qualifications and industry experience, enabling us to deliver pragmatic, commercially focused intellectual property legal services tailored to complex international deals.
