Our credentials, team and clients

Experience

Our team has extensive experience in tackling counterfeiting and illegal parallel imports across all enforcement strategies covered in this guide – from developing anti-counterfeiting strategies and online brand enforcement programmes, to full-scale litigation, customs actions and supporting law enforcement.

Approach

No two brands are the same, and we work with you to develop a bespoke approach to the problems you’re facing – in line with your budget and priorities.

Thought leadership

Our team is at the forefront of anti-counterfeiting efforts, and we have close relationships with government advisers and industry lobbyists. We actively participate in consultations about changes to laws and treaties with various stakeholders, including government bodies, customs authorities, police and Trading Standards.

Anti-Counterfeiting Group

Our team are also members of the Anti-Counterfeiting Group (ACG) and are active participants of the anti-counterfeiting committees for the International Trademark Association (INTA) and the European Communities Trademark Association (ECTA).

International reach

Counterfeits are almost never made and sold in just one country. Our international network – including offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Dubai and Hong Kong and experienced anti-counterfeiting experts based around the world – means we can provide an effective solution to what is inherently an international problem.

Technology

Technology is at the heart of our client service. Using cutting-edge online brand enforcement technology, we can help you scope counterfeiting and parallel imports worldwide and take fast and effective enforcement action. Where further escalation is required, we offer bespoke client portals that provide access to the detail and status of customs and IP enforcement matters in one place.
