Experts in technology claims and protecting your IP from infringement.

Intellectual Property & Technology Disputes

We understand the concerns of those who operate in this cutting-edge industry and help them to protect their legal and commercial interests both in the UK and internationally.

Our approach is grounded in the clearest possible understanding of what you are trying to achieve and the formulation of a bespoke strategy.  With a candid approach to prospects of success, costs and timeframes, we have a reputation for adding value with pragmatic and commercial advice.  And we deliver results on high-profile and complex disputes that are critical to your business whilst providing a responsive and personable service in what can be a high-stress environment.

We act for national and international clients on a diverse range of disputes relating to intellectual property and those that operate within the technology sector.  Those disputes are often not only frequently significant in value but also highly complex in nature.

We also frequently act on contentious IP matters including those that relate to trade mark infringement, design rights, copyright, passing off and domain names.  And, we understand the need to act quickly, particularly where injunctive relief is involved.

Resolution & Settlement

We understand and harness the power of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to deliver a result.   And we are experts in dispute resolution at all levels and in all its forms, whether court action, formal ADR (including mediation and expert determination) or informal negotiations.  We can advise you on when to engage in ADR and which form of ADR best meets your tactical and commercial aims.

Dispute Avoidance

We frequently advise on dispute avoidance as well as representing a wide range of businesses in the pursuit or defence of claims.  We want to help you avoid problems and resolve issues (or at the very least improve your position) before a formal dispute even arises, so it is best to get us involved as early as possible.  By doing so, you will enable us to add maximum value and improve the outcome.
