Our clients know us for our practical and sound advice. Our expertise spans various sectors that intersect with health and social care, including technology, pharmaceuticals/biotech, medical devices, media, retail, FMCG, insurance, advertising, publishing, finance, and design.
We offer a complete range of services to protect your intellectual property, including R&D advice, support to obtain registered IP protection, licensing, sponsorship and collaborations and portfolio management. We are also highly experienced in both bringing and defending claims in connection with patents, trademarks, copyright, and design rights with a healthcare element.
Most importantly, our approach is creative, focused, and solution-driven. We're not just in the business of resolving issues but anticipating them, ensuring that you are always one step ahead.

Clinical Risk and Medical Malpractice
We understand the challenges that arise in the healthcare sector when patient expectations are not met, and we also recognise that cost pressures in the sector and on medical malpractice indemnifiers have never been so acute. As the provision of healthcare fragments away from its traditional delivery models, more and more claims activity will affect commercial entities, private clinics, hospitals, general healthcare providers – and their insurers.
