They have acted for individuals and businesses including national newspapers, book publishers, music publishers, authors, artists, film production companies, record companies, manufacturers, fashion designers and photographers.
The Contentious IP team offers a complete service in all aspects of IP protection and the resolution of IP rights-related disputes including:
- IP Rights-based contractual disputes
- Copyright infringement
- Registered and Unregistered Design Rights

- Domain names and online disputes
In addition to our extensive expertise in litigating IP disputes before the courts at all levels, we recognise the role of alternative dispute resolution procedures and are well placed to advise in relation to arbitration, mediation and other settlement negotiations.
Our extensive anti-counterfeiting practice specifically acknowledges the importance of policing and monitoring online market places and preventing the importation of infringing goods or materials into the jurisdiction.
Our Trade Marks team provides a full service for the registration of UK registered trade marks and Community Trade Marks, and also liaises with trade mark associates worldwide.
