Respond to risk

When dealing with intellectual property disputes that arise during the course of business operations, a decisive response is required. We help to address risks effectively, to assess your options, protect your reputation and ensure financial and team stability.

We are highly skilled at resolving intellectual property issues of all kinds, including court proceedings for patent, trade mark, copyright and registered and unregistered design right infringement and passing off, IP entitlement proceedings, disputes before the UK Intellectual Property Office, domain name disputes and social media takedowns.

Recover from risk

Once the outcome of an intellectual property dispute is secured, we help you to manage risk recovery, equipping you to bounce back stronger, including by monitoring and advising on the effects of relevant court decisions and enforcing judgments secured by you.

Mitigate risk

Once the dust has settled, the last thing most businesses want to do is spend any more time than they need to on dealing with an intellectual property dispute. But that’s exactly the time to work with our experts to proactively identify gaps in processes and protection, so as to reduce the likelihood of similar risks happening again. 

Combining deep technical knowledge with straightforward commercial pragmatism, we work with clients to devise national and international strategies to protect innovation and business value. We help to mitigate risk by advising on all areas of intellectual property law, including trade marks, passing off, patents, copyright, registered and unregistered design rights and confidential information.
