With the firm’s ambitions to grow and to provide additional expertise into new markets, the team relocated to new premises in 2020.

Our patent and trade mark attorneys based in Edinburgh specialise in chemistry, engineering and electronics. The team provides a high-quality, bespoke IP service to leading Scottish SMEs and highly-innovative individuals, along with international blue-chip companies.
