Birketts LLP

Birketts LLP continues to bolster its IP practice with hires at junior level, which attests to the importance of this work to its corporate clients. The firm handles the full range of IP work, with Maria Peyman in Cambridge taking the lead on disputes. Her team is ‘very good at demystifying the highly technical and complex nature of patent law’. Non-contentious work is also led from Cambridge by the ’responsive, commercially aware and supportive’ Quentin Golder, with support from Andrew Priest, who is an accredited IP specialist in Scotland. Melanie Harvey in Ipswich oversees the trade marks and branding team. Alec Cameron left in late 2024.
