We find that a lot of businesses don’t have a clear picture of their intellectual property - what they own, what it’s worth or how to protect it, let alone whether it’s aligned with their business strategy. We help change that.
At Legal Studio, we support individuals, start-ups, and established brands to identify, protect and maximise value from their IP. That includes trademarks, copyright, patents, design rights and the wider strategy that holds it all together.
We combine legal expertise with real-world experience. We know what matters when you’re building something – and how to protect it without slowing you down.
Whether you’re registering your first mark, managing a global portfolio, dealing with infringement or building IP into a commercial deal, we’ll give you straightforward, strategic advice that reflects the way you work.
How We Work:
IP isn’t just about filing forms. It’s about understanding your business and what your brand really means to you.
- We start with a conversation – to get clear on what needs protecting and why.
- You’ll deal directly with someone who gets both the legal and commercial angles, and who’s worked with everyone from founders to global brands.
- We’ll keep things simple, explain your options, and build a plan that makes sense – whether that’s a quick fix or a long-term strategy.
- And if your IP is being challenged, or someone’s stepping on your rights, we’ll step in fast, tell it to you straight and help you protect what’s yours.
Areas We Cover:
- Trademark registrations (UK, EU and international)
- Brand clearance and risk assessments
- IP strategy and portfolio management
- Defending and enforcing your IP rights
- Copyright and design rights advice
- IP audits and due diligence
- Brand protection as part of commercial deals

The Contractual Cornerstone: Why Understanding Contracts is Crucial for Business Success
Contracts often get a bad rap: seen as dry, legal documents that must be navigated before the real work can begin. But this perception is a disservice to the vital role contracts play in business success. A deep understanding of what a contract truly says can be the difference between thriving and just-about-surviving.
What do we cost?
We take a flexible approach to our costs; and the fee structure of each instruction is case-specific.
We are more than happy to discuss our costs options on an informal basis.
