Firm overview

Working with IP-rich businesses, we protect, scale, and defend ideas with a holistic IP offering.
Whether it's patent, copyright, or trademark protection, or serving as lead trial counsel in all-or-nothing cases, we are ready to tackle any IP issue head-on.

Our Intellectual Property Practice is one of the largest and most active in the world—combining a market-leading U.S. IP litigation capability with one of Europe’s most highly regarded IP teams, creating a genuinely integrated transatlantic practice spanning patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, brand, advertising, and trade secrets across the U.S., U.K., Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

We offer a multidimensional IP service—featuring litigation, prosecution, and transactional and strategic counsel—enabling you to develop a coherent, globally coordinated IP strategy managed from a single platform. We are particularly active in life sciences, technology, semiconductors, media and entertainment, and luxury goods.

A single trusted IP partner. For every issue. Across your entire portfolio.
