Don’t just take our word for it - read some of our quotes...
What we do is provide the best advice to YOUR benefit and not ours. Our objective is to add value to YOUR business. Many of our clients are small to medium size enterprises with a team management structure. Many but not all are technology companies. Other clients include more conventional businesses with IP related issues such as trade mark disputes, confidential databases / supplier lists, licensed in patents or an online / e commerce trading capacity. What they all have in common is some form of intangible asset which needs commercialisation or protection. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but it can be a legal minefield.
Our clients include not only conventional large corporations but other law firms, in-house lawyers, accountants, finance directors CEO’s and insurance companies which require IP advice but do not have the relevant expertise internally. The type of work we do includes most forms of commercial trading agreements including terms and conditions, distribution agreements, through to technology licensing and brand protection.
