Our team is made up of IP solicitors who have years of experience helping clients protect, manage, exploit, enforce and defend their intellectual property rights.
Waterfront’s IP team is made up of specialist solicitors with extensive experience across the full spectrum of intellectual property law. We help clients protect, manage, exploit, enforce, and defend their IP rights with strategic, commercially focused advice that reflects the realities of their business.
Our service is partner-led from start to finish. Senior lawyers are actively involved throughout your matter, ensuring you benefit from the highest level of expertise and continuity. We work with start-ups, SMEs, global companies, and individual creators across a wide range of industries, including fashion, technology, entertainment, and financial services.
Our services include trade mark clearance, registration, portfolio management, and litigation; copyright advisory work, licensing, and disputes; design rights protection and enforcement; patent litigation in both the High Court and the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC); anti-counterfeiting strategies including customs enforcement; domain name disputes; and protection of trade secrets and confidential information through contracts and litigation.
We tailor our approach to suit the scale and complexity of each matter. Our efficient billing models and use of senior solicitors as advocates help control costs, particularly in IPEC proceedings where cost-capping applies.
Recognised in Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, our IP lawyers are known for their pragmatic advice, strong advocacy, and personable approach. We’re committed to delivering excellent service while making sure our clients feel supported and understood.
