Why multinationals work with us

Embedded, not external

We function as an extension of your legal team, with defined scope, reporting lines, and authority — not a one-off instruction to a law firm.

Global filing experience

Cross-border support across the UKIPO, EPO, USPTO, and WIPO, with plain-English clarity across jurisdictions.

Confidentiality-first engagement

NDA-led onboarding and clear data-handling practices for sensitive technical and commercial information.

Scalable capacity

Dial support up or down as your portfolio, deal flow, or litigation exposure changes, without the fixed cost of a full-time hire.

Services for enterprise & multinational clients

Global Portfolio Management

Best for: organisations with active multi-jurisdiction filings and renewal obligations.

We act as your virtual in-house IP department — handling renewal tracking, strategic expansion, and lifecycle optimisation across WIPO jurisdictions, so nothing in your portfolio is left unmanaged or undervalued.

Freedom to Operate (FTO) Risk Assessment

Best for: product launches, M&A due diligence, market entry.

Before you launch a product, enter a new market, or complete an acquisition, we assess the existing IP landscape to identify infringement exposure — giving your leadership team a clear risk picture, not just a legal opinion.

IP Portfolio Audits & Due Diligence

Best for: pre-transaction due diligence, portfolio reviews, new GC/legal-lead onboarding.

Comprehensive health checks across your existing IP estate — identifying gaps, underused assets, and value that isn't being protected or monetised.

Cross-Border Patent & Trademark Strategy

Rigorous, jurisdiction-specific filing strategy across the UK, US, EU, and international systems — ensuring your portfolio stays consistent and enforceable everywhere you operate.

Trade Secrets & Confidentiality Policy Design

Top-tier confidentiality frameworks to keep sensitive technical and commercial information protected, translated from complex legal structure into practical, plain-English policy your teams can actually follow.

Fractional In-House IP Counsel

Best for: legal teams that need senior IP capacity but aren't ready (or don't need) a full-time hire.

Ongoing, embedded IP capacity — integrated into your legal function on a defined-scope, defined-hours basis. The continuity of an in-house hire, without the fixed headcount cost.

FOR ESTABLISHED ORGANISATIONS

Embedded IP counsel for complex, global portfolios

Fractional, senior-level intellectual property expertise integrated into your legal function — not a detached external adviser. Structured, confidential, and built around your governance requirements.

Engagement model

• Fractional in-house retainer — ongoing monthly capacity, structured around your reporting lines and approval processes.

• Dedicated portfolio management — long-term, embedded management of your full IP estate.
