Intellectual property law

Our intellectual property team has acquired a national reputation for its work in advising computer software traders about claims for infringement of copyright and trade mark, evidenced by the fact that our clients are to be found in all parts of the country.

Acting for both claimants and defendants, we have considerable experience of intellectual property disputes, including copyright, trade mark, passing off and confidentiality.

An actionable infringement can be very damaging and expensive. It is important to be able to call upon an experienced and effective legal team to achieve the best result. We encourage our clients to seek our advice at an early stage, since often we are able to provide a quick solution to what might otherwise become a serious problem.

Negotiations play a major part in our work and are something that we thrive on. However, when negotiations fail and court proceedings are the only remedy, we are able to bring in to play our considerable experience of representing parties in the High Court.

We are results driven and our work comes from personal recommendation.

At the outset of a dispute, we advise on the costs and funding issues and will give an early opinion of the prospects of obtaining a successful outcome to any dispute.
