Intellectual Property, Confidentiality & Data Protection

It is essential to protect the intellectual property of your business to prevent the goodwill in the mark or logo with which you are associated from being copied or used in a way that would bring your business into disrepute and potentially affect your trade.

Whether it be copyright, trademark protection, design rights, database rights or patents, we have the knowledge, experience and contacts to ensure that your important assets are protected.

Some of your business information or know how may be disclosed to third parties under usual commercial arrangements.  To prevent recipients of such information from circulating this information or using it to compete with you, it is essential to use a confidentiality agreement. 

The issue of data protection is a particular concern to many clients.  Employers and contracting parties (or any other holders of an individual’s personal data) need to be extremely careful and be able to show that they have appropriate protection in place.  Whether your business is exclusively based in the UK and a privacy policy would suffice or whether you are a player in the world market and require binding corporate rules, we have the experience to keep you up to date in this legal minefield.
