Our clients range from large multinational companies and household names to SMEs, start-ups and entrepreneurs. We work with our clients at the cutting edge of technology, from innovations based on the latest research in telecoms, semiconductor devices, software and AI, through to electric vehicles, fibre optics, lasers and beyond.

We bring an in-depth knowledge of the UK and European intellectual property systems to the process of obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights. Internationally, we work with an extensive network of overseas patent professionals to secure protection for our clients around the world. We are always seeking to inform and add value at each stage of the process.

We have specialists in electronics, software, mechanical systems, chemistry, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. In the UK and Europe, we work closely with solicitors, barristers, and other members of the legal profession to support our clients in litigation before the courts.
We understand work-life challenges, and are sensitive to how work can impact your personal life. We respect this and will always encourage a good work-life balance. Our workplace is one where fairness, respect, equality and dignity are promoted and are part of the firm’s everyday goals and behaviour.
