Whether instigated by you or by another party, the IP litigation process is often complex. Without the right support, you could find it costly – in terms of both time and money.

We help clients of all sectors and specialist domains to find the best possible solution to their dispute. We have vast experience advising in relation to all types of IP issues, including those involving copyright, patents, trade marks, design rights and trade secrets.

"We’ll look at all the options open to you, including early settlement, we’ll help you find the most appropriate forum, the best lawyers and the right external counsel, and we’ll support you in negotiating and drafting settlements."
