Our services

Technology & Intellectual Property

The team is known for providing a full service technology law and IP offering.

On the technology law side, we advise on everything from outsourcing and the exploitation of technology by way of licensing and other commercial arrangements to compliance with consumer and freedom of information legislation as well as advising on social media related issues. We also advise on compliance with data protection legislation including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as privacy related issues. 

On the IP side, we advise on everything from the management of IP portfolios, handling trade mark filings and prosecutions to IP enforcement and developing brand protection strategies. We have particular expertise working with clients to protect and maximise their brands through registrations, assignments, licensing, franchising and sponsorships as well as advising on how to effectively defend and enforce their brands.

We take a highly practical, hands on approach to the specialist area of technology and IP law and believe that advice cannot be provided in isolation of a client’s overall corporate and / or marketing objectives.
