Protection, advice and documentation

We assist clients to build value in their businesses by assisting them to develop strong and distinctive brands and protecting those brands and other confidential and essential business information and know how from competitors. Your brand, confidential information and know how can be one of your most valuable assets that sets you apart from your competitors.

As businesses seek market penetration and distribution, substantial assistance is required in the commercialisation of their intellectual property assets including business protection which can only be achieved by carefully drafted documents to ensure that suppliers, distributors and other stakeholders protect your valuable intellectual property rights. When the need arises, CharterLaw Legal can also provide assistance to clients in infringement litigation or where there are confidentiality and trade restraint protection breaches.
