Slingsby Partners LLP

Slingsby Partners LLP was formed with one key vision: to enable clients to more easily realise their business objectives through the use of IP – and they have brought together a team of outstanding IP professionals to achieve that goal. From start-up to established market leader – and wherever your organisation sits on the technology spectrum – they can help you generate lasting value from your ideas.

The firm’s focus is on delivering the right intellectual property strategy for each of their clients – whatever their needs and ambitions may be. They don’t just offer dry, reactive legal advice that focuses on box-ticking. The team takes the time to understand your objectives, offering advice that is tailored to your requirements, and adapting that advice as your business and marketplace evolve.

Their attorneys combine deep technical expertise with commercial awareness. They have a long track record of working alongside remarkable businesses to help them identify, protect and manage their intellectual property. All have technical or scientific backgrounds and qualifications, often having worked in-house for science and engineering companies in the UK and overseas – meaning they speak the same language as their clients. This hands-on industry experience and breadth of knowledge enables them not just to understand the potential in complex ideas and technologies but to offer real-world, practical guidance on the best way of realising their value. Whether running a brainstorming session to capture the innovations in a new project or supporting a client through a dispute with a competitor, their goal is to make intellectual property work for their clients. They are particularly proud that the great majority of their instructions come through recommendations from existing clients.
