Team Services

BTO’s team has accredited specialists in both Intellectual Property and Data Protection, making BTO one of the best placed teams in Scotland to advise on IP matters.

It works in a range of business sectors (including technology, energy and renewables, recruitment, engineering, drinks, retail, hospitality, creative industries, social housing and local government) for clients ranging from sole traders and individuals to multinational plcs.

As specialists in both contentious and non-contentious matters, the team can provide  representation at every stage of its clients’ journeys.

It is well known for advising on large deals on both contractual and compliance matters where it has the skills and resources to advise on intellectual property, technology, data protection and commercial issues.

Having a Solicitor Advocate at the helm of the team, who often appears in the supreme civil courts to argue contentious IP matters, means that continuity of representation can result in savings of time and expense, as well as giving clients very quick reaction times.

Testimonials

Red Mosquito Limited

Red Mosquito Limited engaged with Lynn Richmond of BTO for advice and guidance on the review and updating of our service contracts for managed IT services. We found her to be very easy to deal with as she quickly understood our exact requirements and was able to provide very specific advice in clear language which was then parlayed into a full set of contract documentation meeting the brief quickly and efficiently. We found her extremely easy to deal with… and we would definitely recommend on that basis.
