What does virtual in-house IP support mean for your business?

It means you get senior IP support without hiring a full-time in-house lawyer. We plug into your team, handle day-to-day questions, and keep your IP work moving. It’s flexible, commercial support for growing businesses.

Can you get support with IP matters beyond the UK and Ireland?

Yes. You can get guidance on IP strategy and protection across the UK, Ireland, and other key jurisdictions, including Europe and the US. If your business is thinking bigger than one market, we can help you map the right route.

Do you work with fast-growing tech startups and SMEs?

Yes. That’s a big part of what we do. We help growing tech businesses protect what they’re building, make smarter IP decisions, and put a strategy in place that can scale with them.

Who is your Introduction to IP course designed for?

It is built for founders, SMEs, and teams who want a clear, practical introduction to intellectual property. You do not need a legal background. The course helps you understand the key risks, the main rights, and where IP can support growth.
