We've helped some of the world's most well-known brands to resolve their business challenges and acted on some of the most significant trade mark disputes in recent years. Some of our biggest cases haven't gone public but include complex international disputes about marks considered particularly hard to protect, like shapes and colours or semi-descriptive/allusive terms.
Clients come to us because of the strength and size of our team. We have experts in key territories around the world who are ready to provide assistance and can handle multijurisdictional disputes with ease.
The scale of our practice means we rarely encounter issues we haven't come across before. Once engaged, we'll quickly work with you to understand the situation and help devise a winning strategy. Our extensive experience means we can combine precedents and procedures, which help drive efficiency and reduce costs.
Whatever your legal needs, you can rely on us to help you navigate challenges efficiently and effectively, wherever you do business.
