There from day one
Embarking on the start-up journey is a challenge, and navigating the world of intellectual property can be a daunting task. We understand every decision matters, and IP is crucial to maximising the value proposition of the company from day one. We are committed to being there to support you from the start. Our attorneys are accustomed to being called upon by our start-up clients to devise commercially-focussed IP strategies that align with the objectives of the business. This includes patent drafting and filing strategies, as well as IP education, invention capture, due diligence and portfolio management. Clients know all of this sets us apart, so they come to us for our commercially-minded, no-nonsense advice.
On your team
Collaborative to the core - we take great care in getting to know our clients, their businesses and their aspirations. Gaining that understanding and entering into a trusted partnership, we are perfectly positioned to provide creative and original solutions to any curveball that the start-up journey throws your way. In the dynamic world of start-ups, facing tricky questions from investors (or your Board) is inevitable. Our patent attorneys are not just legal experts; we have helped countless start-ups navigate challenging moments as a seamless part of the team.
Exit and beyond
Anticipating the future is a key element of successful start-up management. We are able to draw on our extensive experience to set up portfolios with an eye on your exit strategy and to provide insight on what potential acquirers in your sector are looking for. We go beyond merely safeguarding your intellectual property, but instead consistently offer tailored solutions for favourable positioning in your preparation for exit. Our work has been critical for our clients securing many millions in funding and the portfolios we build are regularly stress tested as part of due diligence carried out by some of the world’s leading venture capitalists.
