Fraud and piracy are commonplace among workplaces – some forms benign others malicious and directed towards assisting your competitors.

Your firm's name can be protected from the use of similar names by competitors or others. A colour design or an original theme for your business or manufacturing packaging can also be protected. We can advise you of the availability and application of desired trademarks as well as enforcing your rights.

When it comes to the internet we advise software developers, authors, artists, designers, advertisers and others who author works under copyright laws to control their services and their inventiveness. Our strategy protects your profits from your works. Internet disputes go well beyond domain names. For example, illegal users use trademarks in their meta-tags, or they may use the same coloured font on the same background. We advise clients on their web development, hosting contracts, licence agreements, domain names and many other IT agreements.
