Our Intellectual Property team recognise that IP rights have a significant commercial worth and are present in the majority of commercial transactions we advise on. We work closely with our clients to ensure that they maintain the correct level of protection to safeguard their IP rights, develop or protect their creative work and, where appropriate, secure the enforcement of their rights against unauthorised use. The team also advises clients on how best to exploit their IP and innovations in the market place.

We have also developed significant expertise on the technology side, we advise clients on all aspects of software selling, licensing & franchising, domain-name protection, internet presence, website content and internet selling whilst also providing advice on the relevant and applicable regulatory framework within which our clients operate.

Our team understands the increasingly complex areas of copyright, trade-marks, patents, designs, trade secrets and other IP/IT rights and we work with our clients to protect, enforce and exploit such rights as the situation requires.
