LegalBase‘s intellectual property practice is a port of call for global brand-related matters with a predominately international component. The team typically advises on a spectrum of mandates requiring expertise in brand protection issues, such as trade mark infringements, removing infringements online, and flagging online listings selling counterfeit products, often pursuing this on IP arbitration platform such as the World Intellectual Property Organisation. Ali Tyebkhan heads the department and is noted for his ’very commercial and practical approach’. Sudath Perera has over 30 years of experience in IP matters, and both Natasha Burhan and Sashika Anandappa are further key practitioners for international mandates.
