Intellectual Property & Information Technology

Copyright, Designs & Patents, Trade Marks & Brands

Businesses who develop innovative products and services, and valuable brands, need to protect their investment in innovation, and the goodwill they have developed in their brands, by the use of Intellectual Property (IP) rights.

For businesses in the IT sector, contractual relationships are usually key tools to maximise revenue, limit commercial risk, and protect intellectual assets.

Our specialist team of IP & IT lawyers have in-depth knowledge and many years of experience in these areas of law, which enables us to quickly identify the relevant commercial and legal issues, and to work with you to achieve your objectives swiftly and cost-effectively.

This is the first time I have used LCF Law. The service and advice I received were exemplary. I was able to proceed with my project far more quickly than anyone expected.

James Sarjantson at LCF Law advised us on how best to protect our business, and that of our clients when working together. We’d strongly recommend LCF Law to other businesses"
