Perhaps unsurprisingly, a significant part of a business’ value is in its intangible assets.

We identify where the value lies in your business and help you to protect it, whether that's through registering your IP rights, preventing third party claims to ownership, or devising a short, medium and long term strategy to manage those rights as your business grows.

We can also help you to enforce those rights against infringers, advise you on how to make your business more investible through protection of your IP rights, and leverage those rights to create a cash cow for your business.

It's not always possible to have total certainty when running your business. Whether you're working with a new supplier, have a new service offering, or want an exit strategy from a commercial deal, there's always an element of risk. However, having a professionally reviewed written contract allows you to mitigate those risks and to plan ahead for most eventualities.

We're commercially experienced so know what is, and what isn't, a realistic position, and can help you negotiate better royalty rates, reduce your risk of liability, advise you on indemnities and everything in between.

Good foundations are key for success; agreements between shareholders and constitutional arrangements remove room for dispute later on and set a steady course.

For established businesses, we ask: ‘What's your endgame? To sell? Management buyout?’. Whichever it is, we have the experience to support you.

If you need clear agreements between your business’ stakeholders, want to bring on new investment without losing control, are looking to exit the business, or anything in between, we can help.

You don't need to be a large multinational for your business to be built on data. If you have customers, you process personal data.

Whether you're using personal data for email marketing or training cutting edge AI software, we can help you to handle personal data in the right way and in-line with data regulations. From entire audits as to your data documentation and internal processes, to advising on the fallout of a data breach, we're here to help.

Unfortunately, and sometimes unavoidably, disputes will occur.

Whether this results from somebody infringing your rights (or vice versa), a breach of contract, or a breakdown in relationship, we can assist.

With experience in alternate dispute resolution (ADR) and formal litigation (County Court, High Court, Intellectual Property Enterprise Court and UKIPO), we can advise on your options.

Being well informed and up to date is vital when running your business. Being able to identify matters, and deal with them, and keeping abreast of legal developments can add value to your business.

Whether this is to help you and your staff understand and identify the IP assets in your business, navigate data protection legislation, or to better understand open source software and your use of the same, we can tailor training to suit you.
