The IP group at Mishcon de Reya LLP is led by David Rose in London, but the innovation department in the Cambridge office plays a central role in the firm's offering. It brings together lawyers, trade mark attorneys and patent attorneys to assist start-ups and established companies in the technology, media and life sciences sectors. The group is 'very easy to work with, smooth and efficient', and head of the international technology team Patrick Farrant is the local lead partner. He is supported by experienced IP litigator Gareth Dickson, trade marks and brands strategist Louisa Dixon, and managing associate Laura Aldridge, who focuses on brand protection.
