• Discrimination claims
• Team moves
• Applying for, and defending injunction proceedings
• Claims involving restrictive covenants

IP litigation

Intellectual property is frequently seen as being amongst the most valuable assets of a business and as such can give rise to a high volume of complex disputes.

We have a solid track record in respect of enforcement matters relating to intellectual property rights (including brand, design and trademarks), often appearing in court to obtain prohibitive and mareva injunctions. We have been particularly successful in restraining cross border infringement activities and freezing accounts to which the proceeds of sales of counterfeit goods have been remitted.

Our services cover:

• Pre-action advice on whether the use of technology, designs and/or brands infringe third party rights and practical steps to avoid legal proceedings
• Lodging opposition, cancellation, rectification and invalidation proceedings in Hong Kong
• Issuing and defending proceedings relating to IP infringement including copyright infringement and passing off
• Enforcement and defence of trade secrets
• Applications for interim injunctive relief

Commercial litigation

We litigate high value and complex commercial and company disputes at all levels and make effective use of all forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution including arbitration and mediation. Our experience covers disputes relating to commercial contracts, fraud, director and shareholder disputes and interim relief.
