Intellectual property
legal services.

From contracts to licensing to litigation

Do you need a lawyer who understands your business and what you’re trying to achieve?

Our lawyers know it’s important to capture and identify your best outcome right at the outset. First we listen, we ask questions, we listen again and only then do we think we’re ready to provide advice that answers your needs.

Many lawyers reach straight to their library of precedents and make one fit your particular problem. We don’t. We make sure that we have considered every aspect of your issue and then draft agreements or formulate a plan to match.

It’s the same when we’re litigating. We work out an enforcement strategy that works with your business. There’s no point instituting proceedings or making a legal argument if it doesn’t meet your practical needs in the market.

Sometimes a competitor’s activity will seriously affect both your business and the market. In those circumstances you have to go in hard and fast to protect your market position and your bottom line. You need someone who is prepared to be aggressive.

Our lawyers have experience and qualifications in a wide range of areas. We’re working in many areas of intellectual property law including:

• Confidentiality agreements
• Employee IP agreements
• Manufacturing agreements
• Licensing
• Commercialisation agreements
• Joint venture agreements
• Sale and acquisition agreements
• Dispute resolution
• Anti-counterfeiting
• Protection and enforcement of IP rights
• Defence of freedom to operate
• Federal Court proceedings

With Watermark on your side your intellectual assets are in safe hands.
