How can we help you?

Your legal problems are our challenge.

We know how complex the world of regulations can be, which is why we offer reliability, total commitment and a personal approach. We provide you with effective solutions that help you navigate the challenges of today’s market and everyday life.

  • We help you protect what is most valuable to you – your original ideas and unique brands. We will guide you through the entire trademark registration process and assist you in obtaining and validating European patents, drawing on our global network of contacts. If you wish to discover the true value of your intellectual property, we will carry out a professional valuation of your intangible assets.

  • At our firm, we provide comprehensive support for the validation of your European patents, ensuring they are effectively protected in the countries you choose. Monitoring intellectual property rights is our specialty – we track and safeguard your trademarks, utility models, patents, and industrial designs. This allows you to focus on developing your innovations, with the confidence that your rights are under constant protection and supervision.

  • We can help you identify areas within your company where intellectual property rights are created and ensure that your company’s interests in this regard are properly protected. We review employment contracts to ensure that the company correctly defines employees’ duties and effectively acquires copyright from them, and we suggest changes to be implemented to safeguard the company’s interests, which is particularly important for innovative companies or those implementing new technologies. We will also assist in implementing intellectual property and trade secret policies, enabling the company to more effectively counter any potential infringements of its rights by market competitors.

  • Whether you create your own marketing materials or purchase them from third parties, we can provide comprehensive support in securing the rights to all advertising, promotional and informational materials used in your business operations.

  • Do you create online content or run a business based on social media? We will be happy to advise you on how to safeguard the rights to your creative work and help protect your rights against attempts by competitors to infringe them.

  • We advise and represent athletes in their dealings with sponsors and assist with contract negotiations. Should you ever feel the need, we can also assist with any day-to-day matters – such as family, inheritance or property issues.

  • We ensure that your good name is always properly protected. We provide support in matters relating to the protection of reputation, for both individuals and businesses, and stand by your side in the event of unjustified debt collection actions, restoring your peace of mind and sense of security.

  • If you have outstanding loan obligations in foreign currencies, we offer clear advice and full legal representation in court. We will analyse your situation and work with you to find a way to settle your debt with the bank.

  • For private medical practices, dental surgeries and aesthetic medicine clinics. The promotion of medical services is subject to numerous legal restrictions; therefore, we offer a comprehensive review of informational, promotional and advertising content to ensure compliance with applicable laws and professional ethical standards. As part of this service, we analyse content published on websites and social media, assess its compliance with regulations governing the advertising of medical services, verify compliance with the principles of medical ethics and the positions of the medical council, and prepare written opinions with recommendations for any necessary changes.

  • We offer specialist legal services tailored to architects and “small architecture” designers. We advise on copyright protection for designs, the drafting and review of contracts, and the resolution of disputes relating to copyright infringement within the architectural sector.

  • We offer a comprehensive debt recovery service – covering both amicable and legal proceedings. We assist businesses and individuals in successfully recovering debts, safeguarding our clients’ interests at every stage of the process.

  • Is there something you need that isn’t on the list? Please get in touch to find out what we can do for you.

We treat the law seriously

“Patent attorneys, legal advisers and barristers are prohibited from advertising their services. Client reviews may contain evaluative or promotional language and could therefore be regarded as a form of covert advertising. Allowing reviews to be published could also expose the firm to allegations of unfair competition, for example through unverified critical comments. Client reviews are appreciated internally, but are not intended for public display.”

This is why you will not find client reviews here.
