We provide IP and related services in 100+ jurisdictions and intend to expand our presence and services into more of the world’s complex regions, always as one firm.
THINKING BEYOND SOLUTIONS
Businesses have diverse needs when it comes to IP services in the regions we operate in. Due to the complex nature of these regions, one solution or way of work is incapable of addressing all these needs, so the successful firm must be able to leverage different solutions and business models to satisfy the varying nature and requirements of its customer base.
Practice Leaders
Our practice leaders hold themselves to the highest standards of performance to deliver a unified and consistent level of quality service across a large geographical area, despite all the challenges posed by the jurisdictions we operate in.
