Advisory IP expertise for professional partners
We function as your firm's dedicated IP risk and strategy desk. We understand that referring a client is an act of trust.
Our role is to provide the specialist, litigation-informed counsel your team needs, whether your client is an innovative start-up or a multi-national corporation, while ensuring you retain absolute control over the client relationship and billing.
The problem: Why professional firms need specialist IP support
Many reputable professional firms (including generalist law practices, patent and trade mark attorneys, and finance advisors) face significant challenges when dealing with complex intellectual property (IP) matters:
|
Issues you face |
What they can entail |
|---|---|
|
Gaps in capacity: Lacking in-house litigation expertise (e.g. patent attorneys who cannot litigate, generalist solicitors unfamiliar with IPEC). |
Loss of control: Forced to refer the client away, risking the relationship and subsequent non-IP work. |
|
Risk exposure: Advising on IP validity or infringement without a litigation perspective (i.e. advice that hasn't been tested first-hand in court, but is sound in theory). |
Reputational damage: Delivering legal or financial advice that is proven flawed if the case ends up in court. |
|
Valuation uncertainty: Struggling to identify or quantify IP assets (goodwill, patents) for due diligence, lending, or insolvency. |
Missed opportunities: Undervaluing clients' businesses or failing to execute high-value transactions effectively. |
