Cleveland Scott York

Cleveland Scott York is one of Europe’s leading intellectual property firms.

The firm is known for its engagement with sophisticated clients. One client comments that “the firm can deal with sophisticated matters and does a great job understanding the issues and providing pragmatic advice”. They have a focus on the higher value-added end of the market, rather than on high-throughput, low-input work.

Their patent practice covers all technical areas and is headed up by a number of experienced attorneys, including Andrew Mackenzie, Fraser Brown, Adrian Bradley and Tom Faulkner who “are all highly skilled, with absolutely top-line practical skills". The patent department as a whole is "exceptionally responsive and precise in their advice”.

The trade mark practice is led by Jonathan Clegg and Lorna Hobbs. Clients describe Jonathan as possessing “an excellent breadth and depth of trademark knowledge” and Lorna Hobbs is known for “providing assured counsel on matters contentious and non-contentious”.
