Design registration made easy!

What I like about McDaniels is their clear and sensible approach. Unlike some solicitors I have used, they are very commercially aware and as such offer balanced advice. There is no mysterious legal "fog" and it feels like Kelly and her team really understand our business and wider industry as a whole.

Highly Recommend

McDaniels were recommended to me by another small business and they did not disappoint. Kelly and Molly were great, kept me well informed and have a great overall level of knowledge in their field of expertise which helped the "small girls" win against the "big boys" in this instance. Our outcome was better than I initially anticipated and I couldn't be more pleased. Would definitely use again and have already recommended them multiple times to other small businesses in need of help with IP infringement.

IP Audit

We needed an intellectual property audit carried out and Kelly at McDaniels was recommended to us. We were delighted with the quick, friendly and knowledgeable service we received from Kelly and later Adam, and are extremely pleased with the result. We have ongoing tasks that require further assistance and will not hesitate to get back in touch with McDaniels, and would happily recommend the team to anyone looking for a similar service.

Sofa design Infringement defence.

We met Kelly at the JFS Furniture show, where required some general advice about a new product we had launched, that had been alleged to have infringed another manufacturers product, which she helped tremendously with and put us all at ease. The Accusing party sent legal letters, threats and demands which we passed to Kelly, who fought our case professionally and directly, after Kelly's involvement the accusers soon relented and accepted there wasn't any infringement, I'm pretty sure without her help we wouldn't of had the outcome we had hoped for. We are very grateful for all you help Kelly, pleasure to work with you given the circumstances, you will be the only business on our list for any future help, advice and related services moving forward.
