With more than fifteen years of experience as an IP lawyer, Brandsmiths’ newest Partner, Aminder Khatkar, strengthens the firm’s commitment to delivering thoughtful, client focused support built on deep expertise and care.

“I advise clients on disputes across all areas of intellectual property. As an experienced litigator, I provide strategic, commercially focused advice to help protect, defend and enforce IP rights, with particular emphasis on disputes involving trade marks, copyright, design rights and passing off.”

With experience representing some of the world’s leading companies in trade mark, copyright, and design right disputes, including Sky, Warner Brothers, Microsoft and Amazon, as well as advising many smaller, growing businesses, Aminder brings a strong track record that further enhances Brandsmiths’ IP Litigation team.

His approach reflects our dedication to managing complex disputes with clarity, commercial awareness and a focus on long-term client success.

“I see litigation as a strategic tool that can be used in different ways depending on the circumstances. I focus on understanding each client’s specific goals, pressures and priorities. By combining a deep understanding of the law and procedure with practical judgement, I develop strategies designed to achieve the outcomes that matter most to the client.”

“Good legal advice starts with being human. I take a personal, down-to-earth approach, focusing on clear communication, practical solutions and genuine relationships rather than unnecessary formality.”

Over the coming year, Aminder plans to focus on deepening client relationships and investing in the team’s growth.

At Brandsmiths, we focus on building culture where people can grow, succeed and contribute to precedent-setting cases. This is the exact reason why Aminder decided to be a part of our team.

“There were so many reasons I decided to join the firm. Firstly, it has an exceptional reputation for IP litigation with fantastic clients. It offers a great platform to work somewhere where IP is central to the business. The firm is also on an exciting growth journey, and I am excited to contribute to that growth and the new opportunities it will bring.”

With Aminder on board, we continue to build a firm that puts the client at the centre of everything we do.
