Intellectual Property Solicitors

Your intellectual property is a vital business asset - we'll help you develop and protect it

Our intellectual property legal experts work to protect your valuable company information.

Protecting and enforcing your intellectual property rights

Your trademarks, patents and copyright are all valuable business assets, but they are not always as protected and defended as they should be. We can help you identify these assets and the risks and opportunities associated with them. Tees will be on your side if you need to litigate to enforce your rights through the courts.

Our experience as intellectual property specialists

We've helped clients from multi-national software businesses to regional transport firms identify unregistered rights, revising licensing, maintenance and re-sale agreements. We've also advised a substantial private company in the acquisition and development of unregistered rights and software and the acquisition of several intellectual property owning companies as part of an ongoing development strategy.

Our intellectual property solicitors can support and advise you on a range of issues including:

recognise and quantify the value of your company’s intellectual property
put in place legal protection for those assets
franchising options to help you maximise the value of your intellectual assets
legal enforcement action to restore your rights to your intellectual property if it has been mis-used by others.

The specialists in our business legal team are experienced in all aspects of business law and you can also be assured of a comprehensive and joined-up service with Tees. Our commercial team can call on the expertise of colleagues across our organisation, for example, in employment law, commercial property, litigation and business finance.

We also have in-house independent financial advisers who work closely with our lawyers to deliver all the advice you need for your business.

Our independent financial advisers are regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means we are accountable for all the advice that we give.
