Intellectual Property & Technology Law

Our intellectual property (IP), information and technology (IT) law team is highly experienced in advising companies and individuals across the UK.

We have worked closely with organisations across the pharmaceuticals, healthcare, IT, defence, education, retail, energy, and the motor industry and logistics sectors.

With particular expertise in advising new University company spin-outs we can advise through every aspect of the growth process from first round funding through to successful business angel or venture capital investment and beyond.

Our team of experts has the capacity to advise and assist through all stages of a new company's growth.

We also have experience of advising major public sector organisations, such as the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority through complex IT contract issues.

As technology advances, the rules and regulations around intellectual ownership become more complex.  We work with clients to address the challenges that this brings whether it is guiding them through business growth or defending an infringement on their intellectual property we have the expertise and experience to help.  Our services include:
