We advise technology-driven companies from start-up to maturity — intellectual property strategy, technology contracts, trade secrets, commercial disputes and corporate compliance. Our team combines science and engineering backgrounds with litigation and prosecution experience.
Four capabilities that most of our instructions fall into. Where a matter spans several of them, one team runs it end to end rather than handing it between departments.
Patent prosecution and invalidation, freedom-to-operate analysis, trade secret protection, trademark and copyright portfolios, technology transfer and IP due diligence.
Sale of goods, technology development and service contracts, equity and shareholder disputes, arbitration and enforcement, including remedies when enforcement reaches a dead end.
Day-to-day counsel for technology companies, equity and financing documents, labour and employment, data and personal information compliance, and criminal compliance for companies.
We hold both the lawyer practising certificate and the patent attorney qualification, so technical facts can be assessed by the same team that argues the case.
Around 80% of our lawyers have a science or engineering degree, which matters when a dispute turns on claim construction or test data.
Matters crossing several legal relationships are staffed as one team with a single lead lawyer and one point of contact.
