Shoosmiths’ Intellectual Property litigation team is trusted by some of the world’s most recognisable brands, as well as leading technology and life sciences businesses, to resolve high-stakes IP disputes.

Whether defending patents, enforcing trade marks, or protecting confidential information, our team combines deep technical expertise with commercial pragmatism and data driven strategies.

We act before the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, High Court and international forums, including the Unified Patent Court, often as solicitor advocates. Some of our lawyers hold science and engineering qualifications, enabling us to engage fluently with complex subject matter.

We are experienced in coordinating multi-jurisdictional litigation, including parallel proceedings across Europe, the US and China, working seamlessly with local counsel.

We also help clients design and implement strategic global enforcement programmes. These combine civil, criminal and customs measures, supported by technology-led solutions such as AI-powered monitoring, automated takedown tools and watching services.
