Starting Area/Sector information

Clifford Chance's global IP Group offers both IP specialists, who typically handle transactional, advisory and disputes work, and commercial lawyers who are familiar with dealing with IP issues in the course of drafting and negotiating a wider range of transaction documents. Whether the job is standalone, or part of a larger transaction we can provide partners and lawyers with a suitable range of experience and skills.

Our lawyers focus on a variety of sectors globally and many of our lawyers who handle IP work are long-standing members of our sector focus group. Combining product and sector focus, in the context of our global law firm, facilitates knowledge sharing of a consistently high standard and helps us better to understand client needs.

We can offer our clients our practically applied IP knowledge and expertise, as well as a deep understanding of the challenges involved with conducting a market leading, international business in a constantly evolving technological environment.

Our lawyers handling IP work collaborate closely with our antitrust specialists in finding solutions to the issues that can arise from the tensions between the two areas of specialism.
