The pre-eminent specialist IP practice in Wales providing a full range of IP services, both non- contentious and contentious.

 The practice has particular expertise in the healthcare, life sciences and the creative industries sectors; working alongside specialist colleagues in other practice areas within small sector-specific focus groups. 

The life sciences and creative industries sectors are specific target areas for Welsh Government and much is happening in these sectors in Wales. We continue to be actively involved in The Life Sciences Hub in Cardiff and Swansea’s Institute of Life Sciences, including providing seminars and workshops there for both tenants and the wider life sciences community.
