Cross-practice approach
A robust methodology
We will work alongside you and as an extension of your team. Our approach involves multiple practices to cover the complete scope of our clients’ business.
The size of our global intellectual property (IP) practice, combined with our industry-specific expertise and ability to work on a cross-practice basis, enables us to offer co-ordinated project management.
Using the local knowledge and expertise from our various offices and practices ensures we can deal quickly and efficiently with IP and patent litigation issues.
By combining the expertise of our competition, tax, insolvency, capital markets and M&A lawyers, we offer a comprehensive view of the issues involved, taking into account associated risks and avoiding litigation where possible to deliver the best strategy.
Experts across our offices and practices regularly work together and we are able to provide a seamless service when advising on multi-jurisdictional projects involving multiple issues.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
We also handle licensing disputes and competition issues in IP cases. In addition, we have experience of handling other forms of dispute resolution (read more here), including:
- arbitration.
- negotiation.
- conciliation and mediation.
- adjudication.
- expert determination.
Where possible, we aim to resolve disputes out of court. Even where litigation is unavoidable, we take care to pick the right cases to pursue through the courts and continue to look for pragmatic settlements.
