Chambers Global 2007:

This modest outfit offers a spectrum of legal services, but sources unanimously agree that its busy, long-established IP practice represents “absolute top quality," especially when it comes to the area of patent and trade mark issues. The firm advises small and medium-sized companies, as well as consistently proving itself more than capable of handling the major litigation matters with which international clients entrust it. The lawyers recently defended a large foreign client in a high-profile trade mark litigation, while the pharmaceutical industry also continues to offer a steady stream of instructions.
