Brand & Reputation Management

A positive brand reputation ensures that customers remain loyal and confident in the goods and services a business provides to them. In turn, there are mechanisms that businesses can implement to solidify their identity within their sector of business.

If a business or consumer is benefitting by infringing your brand, it is important to act appropriately to prevent the other business from benefitting from your investment, to preserve your goodwill and also to lower the risk of confusion for your customers.

We assist clients with the full lifecycle of brand protection from brand establishment and registration, brand licensing and brand protection. Services we provide include:

  • Advice on brand set up and registration, including trademarks.
  • Brand licensing and monetisation
  • Privacy protection, including in respect of image rights
  • Defamation advice and claims
  • Copyright infringement
Protecting your brand and business assets

It is important for businesses to protect their assets and this includes the non-tangible assets that the business owns. Registering your ownership of those assets that can be registered is key but equally important is vigilance to stop unauthorised use. It is important to take action to stop other individuals and businesses from infringing your rights so as to protect your valuable assets.
