Today’s professionals must have access to members of other professions whose standards of work and service are as good as their own. The practice values highly instructions and referrals from other professionals. Background to cases can be discussed before you instruct, or refer a client to us, without any obligation.

Examples of the types of services offered to professionals:

Due Diligence: This may be a simple exercise identifying intellectual property rights, or more in-depth where for example one or more patent is a particularly important asset.
Contracts: Reviewing the intellectual property aspects of contracts.
Registration: Registration of licences, assignments, mortgages, caveats, etc at Patent and Trade Mark Offices around the world.
Overseas Problems: Many businesses are active in markets outside the United Kingdom, and therefore when problems arise export markets, it can be necessary to bring action overseas. Our network of overseas associates can provide country specific expert advice in the field of intellectual property law.
