New Zealand

Firm overview

Established to serve a local and international client base, but with a strong New Zealand client focus, we provide advice and expertise in all aspects of intellectual property.  We will tell you what you need to know rather than what you might like to hear.  Our charges are based on the value we add, not the time we waste.

We do more than just protect ideas, creativity and brands.  We put the legal issues into their proper commercial context so that intellectual property can be managed just like any other business issue. We think outside the box to help develop successful commercial strategies and help effect these through our network of funders, advisors and businesses.
