Osborne Clarke LLP

The ‘impressive outfit’ at Osborne Clarke LLP is turned to by leading defence, retail, digital, and technology clients for the full suite of contentious and transactional IP work. Will Robertson heads the national commercial team, while Bristol-based Douglas Peden leverages more than two decades of expertise in complex trade mark and copyright disputes. Ellie Downey and Becky Crawford specialise in trade secrets claims, trade mark portfolio management, as well as IP protection and enforcement strategies. The practice was significantly bolstered by the arrival of Mathilda Davidson in January 2025, formerly of Gowling WLG.
