What the Team is Known For

Powell Gilbert is regarded as one of the best patent litigation practices in the world. The firm has a comprehensive IP practice which advises on the registrability, protection and commercialisation of all core rights. Its team is regularly instructed to handle the most cutting edge of life sciences and hi-tech disputes, and is recommended for trade mark, passing-off and copyright instructions.

Strengths

The Powell Gilbert team are easy to work with and tend to move things forward for their clients rather than putting up barriers.

The technical prowess of its highly specialised, intelligent and tech-savvy lawyers enables the firm to handle some of the most legally challenging and technically complex cases in the UK courts.

A go-to IP firm with top-notch work product and incredibly smart lawyers. They really know our business and are incredibly responsive.
