Our primary area of expertise is advising and representing clients in intellectual property disputes.
Our knowledge is based up many years spent at leading City intellectual property practices. It is our aim to bring to clients the best features of top City firms (such as quality of advice and level of service) but to leave behind the worst (lack of transparency regarding costs, rigid billing practices, lack of Partner contact and lack of commerciality).
We have experience of working on disputes involving the full range of intellectual property rights (trade marks, copyright, patents, designs, passing off) as well as breach of confidence and data protection cases.
