Intellectual Property (IP) is one of any business’ most valuable assets, even more so in the digital age. We know how important IP rights are to your business and its future and how to enforce them effectively.
Ralli’s dedicated Intellectual Property Lawyers & Solicitors specialise in advising clients on all Intellectual Property issues, advising a wide range of clients from start-ups and SMEs to national and multi-national business on ownership, exploitation and brand protection matters. We also have particular expertise in dealing with heavyweight IP disputes (both nationally and internationally), and are experienced in obtaining emergency Injunctions on short notice to restrain infringement.
Our IT Team specialises in providing advice on the full range of Information Technology Issues, including infrastructure, licensing, data protection, telecoms and risk management, as well as disputes with an IT element.
We can also advise on the full range of issues when licensing or leveraging your IPRs or IT assets to ensure that you receive the maximum possible return on your information capital.
We provide advice that is decisive, technically and strategically astute, but that never loses sight of your commercial objectives by agreeing on a plan and budget, assembling the right team and following your case through to an agreed Settlement or Trial if necessary. If we can keep you out of Court, we will but if we can’t we will always be in your corner.
We specialise in the following areas:
Search and Seize Orders
