Our specialist intellectual property and franchising lawyers work closely with clients to develop, protect, promote and enforce their intellectual property rights. We advise on all aspects of exploitation and use of intellectual property rights as well as the acquisition and use of information technology products and services.

The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we cannot remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler, but behind the curtain are fluctuating challenges in protection and monetization; challenges that our firm stays two steps ahead of. We help engineers, inventors, gaming start-ups and entrepreneurs develop, license, sell, and maintain ownership over their creations. We also negotiate purchase and partnership agreements for larger investment companies looking for their unicorn.

Our lawyers are also experienced in both contentious and non-contentious enforcement of intellectual property rights with particular expertise in relation to acquisition of rights, transactions involving licensing and the transfer of technology, technology joint ventures, research and development, supply and distribution agreements, and dispute resolution. We also advise on registration of intellectual property rights to regional and international organizations.

Additionally, we have considerable expertise dealing with data protection and data privacy issues and strategies. Our experts advise clients exploiting technology that involves using, transmitting and trading in information personal to the individual.
