PRACTICE AREAS_Areas_Tablet.jpg

We help clients protect, leverage, and strategically deploy intellectual property as part of their U.S. business operations. From trademark registration and brand enforcement to licensing, transfer, and IP due diligence, we provide clear, business-driven guidance tailored to cross-border structures and operational goals.

Our work includes drafting and negotiating licensing agreements, technology transfer arrangements, and confidentiality frameworks—often in connection with broader commercial, M&A, or manufacturing deals. We also assist in forming U.S. entities to hold and manage IP assets, enabling efficient intra-group licensing and long-term brand development.

Trade secrets are a critical component of many clients’ intellectual capital. We advise on internal practices, contractual protections, and risk mitigation strategies to ensure proprietary information—whether technical, commercial, or operational—is properly identified, secured, and defensible under U.S. law.

Whether securing a new U.S. trademark, negotiating license terms with a distributor, or assessing embedded IP in an acquisition, we help clients protect their intangible value and build enforceable, revenue-generating IP frameworks.

Our services include:

  • U.S. and international trademark registration, strategy, and portfolio management

  • IP transfer, licensing, co-branding, and technology agreements

  • Trade secret audits, protection policies, and enforcement strategies

  • IP due diligence in investment and acquisition contexts

  • Structuring U.S. entities for IP ownership and monetization

What sets us apart:

Business integration: We position IP as a commercial asset, not just a legal right—aligning strategy with brand, manufacturing, and distribution goals.

Cross-border fluency: We help international clients adapt IP protection to the U.S. legal environment and prevent gaps in global enforcement.

Trade secret focus: We design and implement practical tools to preserve confidentiality and minimize the risk of misappropriation.

Tailored support: Our IP counsel is coordinated with corporate, commercial, and M&A work—ensuring consistency across functions.
