Mewburn Ellis is the forward-looking IP firm.
We work with organisations building the brands and technologies that will define tomorrow. Whatever you do, wherever you’re based, and whatever your size, we can help you navigate your business journey, using Intellectual Property to imagine, plan, nurture and protect your innovations and deliver them to market.
As one of Europe’s top specialist Intellectual Property firms we believe in a personal approach to business. Our focus is on providing strategic advice to maximise the potential of your IP as an asset and so increase the value of your business. We can be counted on to be one step ahead, looking at how you can best exploit your IP portfolio both now and in the future. We’re known for providing clear, concise and to the point IP advice. We won’t crush new ideas at early stages, but from the outset we’ll be clear on what will and won’t work from an IP perspective.
Mewburn Ellis continues to grow and we are now over 300 strong. Currently the firm has more than 40 partners and 90 qualified patent and trade mark attorneys, solicitors and IP litigators spread across five offices in Europe, as well as an enthusiastic and highly motivated business services team.
Our experts work at all stages of the IP life cycle and advise about patent, trade mark and registered designs, as well as any IP-related disputes and legal and commercial requirements. Operating as one team it’s our client-focused working practices and commitment to building long-term relationships that make us the IP firm of choice for so many businesses and individuals.
We’re true specialists – focusing on IP and IP alone. With patent attorneys, trade mark attorneys, commercial lawyers and IP litigators, we can provide every type of intellectual property service you need. Our expertise is globally acknowledged - in our top tier status, the awards we’ve won and in the cutting-edge work we do, which helps shape future law.
We are a European headquartered hub for litigation, transactions and advice throughout the world and have remained fiercely independent since we first began in 1837. This means we are free to partner with the best people in any jurisdiction for each client need, or work with your existing relationships. We don’t work to billing targets. This ensures you get the right combination of experts working as one, who take the time to share their different perspectives and find the right answer, no matter how difficult or novel the question is. It’s a rare approach that defines the quality of our advice. And because we like to recruit inquisitive minds, many with science and technology backgrounds, we live and breathe your business, can talk the same language and have a keen eye on the future. We enjoy getting to the heart of the matter with advice that is simple to understand and easy to use.
Like any business we have evolved with time, but our focus and spirit have remained as resolute as the quality of our advice and as inimitable as the experience we deliver.
We are Bristows, seeing things differently for those shaping tomorrow.
