United Kingdom

The guide stated “HGF is fantastic – one of the best IP groups there is. It can help with any query whether it relates to trade marks, designs, patents, domain names or litigation and takes the time to get to know its clients’ businesses to tailor thoroughly practical advice as closely as possible to fit commercial needs.

Benelux

The guide stated, “HGF is one of the biggest and best European IP firms; 160 specialists across 16 offices collaborate seamlessly to render a tight one-stop service to brand owners of all stripes. It built up significant momentum in 2017 – bringing on board Alexander Hagen, Kasper Radstake and Pieter de Ruijter to man a new Amsterdam office was a particularly smart move – and carried this over into 2018 during which it opened new sites in Nottingham, England and Westport, Ireland.” For the full review click here.

Scotland

The guide stated, “Top European trade mark set HGF recently reinforced its team in Glasgow, with Rachel Denholm relocating there from the London office. She has nearly 20 years of experience caring for global brands and, to give just a sample, currently represents AT&T in connection with its global trade mark filing programme; handles oppositions for G-Star Raw; undertakes UK and EU clearance, prosecution and opposition tasks for Ford; and conducts worldwide searches for Boots UK. Her presence really amps up the practice in Scotland, which is cultivated by Neil McKechnie, who continues to impress: “Neil is incredibly diligent and has the ability to explain in lay terms the workings and nuances of the world of trade marks.
