Chambers and Partners Guide to the Legal Profession

A commercial approach
We always agree commercial and strategic objectives before we start working together. This enables us to implement our client's strategic objectives through effective and focussed negotiation, mediation and case management.

Managing projects and providing cost clarity
Our pricing and project planning methodologies are refreshing. They are structured to provide certainty and value. We can work on a traditional hourly rated basis, but we prefer where possible to work on a fixed or scaled cost basis. Whichever fee structure we agree, we project plan our work so that you can see when each element will complete, the associated cost, and who is responsible for each element of the work. This enables our clients to control the project and plan costs to meet any changing strategic objectives. If your IP is regularly infringed we can usually make prevention self-funding.

Strong Professional Network
We have strong relationships with the best firms of patent and trade mark attorneys, specialist barristers, corporate financiers and investors, enquiry agents and forensic accountant in the UK, as well as an excellent Community-wide network of lawyers to implement your European IP strategies.

We offer an IP Audit service to businesses in order to help put in place a formal strategy for managing IP assets.  For more information, please click here.
