The WTR 1000 includes the following commentary about the firm:

“The trademark team at Carpmaels & Ransford is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Their expertise in intellectual property, coupled with their well-balanced and effective solutions, ensures clients’ needs are met with precision and efficiency.” Heading up the trademark group is Roger Lush, who deftly handles portfolios of international heavyweights and is a formidable advocate in opposition and cancellation proceedings. He collaborates with Lara Elder and Jake Marshall to support Align Technology in complex proceedings at the EUIPO, as well as advising on its brand protection and enforcement strategy across Europe in relation to its groundbreaking orthodontics treatment, Invisalign. Elder thinks creatively about IP assets and carefully balances her advice with business practicalities. Likewise, as head of the IP transactions team, Marshall is rigorously commercial. He breaks down challenging problems with ease and negotiates effectively to secure lucrative deals for his clients. “The skilled, thoughtful and highly strategic” Jonathan Day is a versatile professional whose skill across the contentious/non-contentious divide adds great value for his clients. He partners closely with long-term client Allergan to effectively protect and enforce its BOTOX brand across the United Kingdom and Europe. Ian Kirby is another dispute resolution maven with many impactful decisions to his name. Drawing on three decades of experience, he offers precise and insightful advice.
