Our contentious specialists provide experienced representation in oppositions, appeals, and disputes. They offer practical, outcome-driven advice grounded in extensive EPO and UKIPO experience, helping you resolve issues efficiently and protect your rights.

Some skills can only be developed working inside IP departments. Our attorneys with in-house backgrounds understand budgets, executive reporting, R&D pipelines, global competition and the realities of crowded patent landscapes. That experience informs pragmatic, commercially relevant advice.
Working in-house exposes attorneys to the day-to-day commercial realities of global business: corporate strategy, budget cycles, collaborations, competitive monitoring and the need to brief senior leaders who may not be IP specialists. Many also build deep expertise in emerging technologies poised for everyday impact. We are proud to include attorneys who have held senior roles in the IP teams of organisations including BAE Systems, British Telecom, BTG, Glaxo Wellcome, IBM, Ministry of Defence, Nokia, Philips, QinetiQ and Rolls-Royce.
