How our intellectual property lawyers work

We are also able to run private criminal prosecutions where your intellectual property is stolen or you are the victim of cyber criminals.
We offer an intellectual property audit service to identify what rights you have, what protection you need and how you can put in place a strategy for managing your intellectual property.
If you need to file applications to register patents, designs or trade marks, we can help you with that.
