    This practice covers protection, commercialisation and defence of patents, trade marks, designs, copyright, database and software rights, domain names, confidential information and tech contracts. Solicitors draft and negotiate licences, assignment deeds, development and outsourcing contracts, terms and privacy notices, NDAs and distribution agreements; file applications and oppositions at the Intellectual Property Office; instruct experts; and bring or defend infringement and passing‑off claims in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court or Chancery Division, or pursue domain complaints through Nominet and UDRP panels. Matters are shaped by registration strategy, claim construction and remedies such as interim injunctions and damages.

    “I needed some advice regarding GDPR and decided to contact Lisa Atkinson at Forbes Solicitors. Lisa offered the expert advice I needed with clear comprehensive answers to my questions. The GDPR subject is such a minefield and to have this vast experience and knowledge was invaluable and is hard to find. Lisa took great time and care to make sure everything was explained properly and could not be more helpful. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for clear expert advice backed up with great customer service.”
