Leveraging the expertise of its 22 dedicated IP lawyers, the ‘commercially minded’ Brodies LLP team provides tailored advice on all aspects of patent and soft IP infringement litigation, complex regulatory issues, and data protection measures. Boasting an extensive client-base, including pharmaceutical multinationals, energy corporations, and UK-based food entities, the contentious offering is spearheaded by Iain Rutherford, who specialises in online defamation and IT supplier disputes. On the non-contentious side, Grant Campbell leads, while Martin Sloan focuses on the licensing and exploitation of IP. From Glasgow, Allison Bryce is knowledgeable on trade mark protection strategy, and both Andy Nolan and Grant Strachan are noted for their commercial contract and regulatory insights. Inverness-based Ally Burr and Glasgow’s Monica Connolly are also cited as key figures in the offering. All lawyers are Edinburgh-based unless otherwise stated.
