IP team praised for capability by Chambers and Partners 2023

The specialist intellectual property (IP) team at Sintons has been praised for the breadth of its client based and the “excellent service” it delivers to them by Chambers and Partners 2023.

The team acts for a range of clients with licensing agreements, trade mark registrations and service contracts. Clients come from a range of sectors, including healthcare, online services and education.

The firm provides “excellent service on complex matters,” says Chambers, with its work with universities around the provision of digital teaching programmes highlighted as a particular strength.

“Approachable and knowledgeable” head of IP Pippa Aitken is hailed as a leading advisor in the field, with “expertise” in all core IP rights including copyright, designs, trade marks and patents.

The ratings from Chambers come only weeks after the publication of Legal 500 2023, which also hailed Sintons’ strength in supporting businesses to protect and exploit the potential of their IP.

Christopher Welch, managing partner of Sintons, says: “Over many years, we have developed our IP specialism and are now a highly respected name in the marketplace. We have strength in a range of sector areas and are able to advise clients from the very early stages of their business in how to protect their most valuable assets which are fundamental to its identity and commercial potential.

“Chambers rightly highlights our strong capability in this area of work, with a commitment to delivering legal and client service excellence being at the heart of everything we do. The findings echo those of Legal 500, which also hailed our expertise and client-focused approach. To secure yet more independent endorsement of our work in this area is excellent news.”
