Overseen by commercial and technology head Declan Goodwin, the ‘knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and professional’ team at Acuity Law provides ’commercial and clear advice’ to clients from a range of IP-rich industries, ranging from small start-ups through to established corporate entities. Much of the work centres on the commercialisation of IP, although the firm’s broader commercial litigation offering handles a growing volume of IP litigation. As well as providing traditional standalone instructions, clients also benefit from access to innovative products, including the firm’s Acuity Reputation Management online tool, which provides a cost-effective blended rate to clients seeking to exploit, protect and enforce their IPR.
