Murgitroyd
Murgitroyd has been rapidly expanding and now has offices located across Europe, North America, and Asia, providing clients with a ‘one-stop-shop’ offering in the automotive, engineering and energy, consumer services, chemistry and life sciences, and media industries, amongst others. The group provides clients with an all-encompassing trade mark offering, from pre-filing and searching to prosecution, renewals, and portfolio management. In December 2022, the firm underwent further expansion with the acquisition of TLIP, allowing the group to seamlessly assist Cambridge-based innovative clients with their trade mark mandates. Managing director Joanne Lecky sits at the helm of the team in Belfast with expertise in representing clients before the UKIPO and EPO in oppositions, revocations, and invalidity actions. In Leeds, Alan Fiddes is another notable name, with substantial experience in managing and exploiting trade mark portfolios.
