London Intellectual Property Lawyer

Our IP team handles a wide range of matters for clients ranging from start-ups and early-stage businesses to global brands. Every business uses and generates IP. For many businesses, IP assets are integral to their core product or service offering. The protection of these assets is crucial to the overall value of the business.

Our expertise covers all areas of IP law, and our experience extends to advising clients across a range of industries on how to protect, manage, exploit and enforce their IP rights from a legal, strategic and business perspective.

We specialise in brand protection, exploitation and enforcement (clearing new brands, filing and prosecuting trade mark applications (UK and International (Madrid)), dealing with trademark opposition and cancellation actions, and running brand policing and enforcement programmes); copyright, design rights and database rights; know-how and trade secrets; domain names; transfers and assignments of IP rights; IP-focused commercial agreements including licensing (including technology licensing), franchise and sponsorship agreements; and advising on the IP aspects of corporate and secured lending transactions.
