We offer the full range of IP advisory and litigation expertise in all areas of intellectual property practice including patent, trademark, copyright, designs and trade secrets. Our IP lawyers comprise a dedicated group of IP specialists, and include trademark and patent agents. We work closely with other related firm practice groups - such as Life Sciences and Healthcare, EU Competition and Tax - to ensure a comprehensive and fully integrated IP service.
Many of our IP lawyers have scientific and technical backgrounds, and we work closely with clients in understanding their day-to-day business and commercial needs. We advise in both the contentious and non-contentious fields, on the creation, protection, exploitation and enforcement of intellectual property rights. We have acted in almost all of the significant patent and trademark cases brought before the Irish courts in recent years.

- International Trademark Association (INTA);
- European Communities Trademark Association (ECTA);
- Marques;
- Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriete Intellectuelle (AIPPI);
- Federation Internationale des Conseils en Propriete Industrielle (FICPI);
