Our industry leading trade mark filing team are regularly instructed by Premier League clubs, leading sports agencies, well-known athletes and household sports brands.  More information on our trade mark work can be found here.

We are instructed by some of world’s biggest sports brands on intellectual property litigation matters – for example, Everton, Wasserman, Umbro, Lucozade, Canterbury and Speedo.
