Not only are we a leading national and international intellectual property practice, our heritage is uniquely automotive.

We are now leading the way in protecting tomorrow’s technologies in areas such as 3D printing,  AI, battery power and hydrogen fuel cells. 

Motorsport is a crucial driver for innovation but innovation needs strong IP protection if it is to make the jump into the wider automotive world. Our sector experts work with businesses from Automotive, Aerospace and Rail sector to help secure protection using strategies tailored to your business.
