Join an eminently capable team of attorneys and work with an assortment of colleagues ensuring for a highly varied workload.  The firm has a genuine diversity of clients from small start-up businesses to international corporations across a range of sectors and their attorneys regularly offer strategic IP advice instead of simply delivering transactional work. The trade mark team gives focused advice on the availability, protection, use, exploitation, enforcement and assignment of trade marks, as well as dealing with related copyright, common law, business name/domain name and design matters.
