Intellectual Property Lawyers

Protect and leverage your intellectual property

IP could be your business’s most valuable yet underrated asset. Whether you’re a start-up or an established international business, our IP lawyers can help properly identify, protect, and leverage your copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets.

Our Intellectual Property lawyers help individuals, start-ups and businesses around the world recognize the value of their IP by using a business-informed, strategic and cost-effective approach to identifying, procuring, protecting and leveraging their trademarks, patents and other valuable IP.

Our IP attorneys have decades of technical and IP experience covering a wide range of industries, including software and information technology, energy, telecommunications, manufacturing, construction, transportation, finance, retail, agricultural, education, health care, garment, medical devices and others. Several of our lawyers also have hands-on technology experience that provides tremendous value when working with complex technologies.

Making the most of your IP

Our lawyers also help businesses improve their internal IP processes by providing education to increase awareness and setting up best practices to improve efficiency and reduce IP-related costs. For sophisticated clients that already utilize best practices, our Intellectual Property attorneys stand ready to work in synchrony with IP managers and in-house counsel to provide a seamless process.
