Biotechnology

Our team of specialist patent attorneys brings together deep scientific knowledge and strategic legal insight to secure protection for inventions across the life sciences sector.

From antibodies, peptides and proteins, immunotherapies, cell and gene therapies, and vaccines to cell culture methods, stem cell therapies and methods, diagnostics, sequencing, and gene editing, as well as computational biology and ‌bioinformatics methods, and plant biology, we work across the entire biotechnology spectrum.

Our team has outstanding technical knowledge in all aspects of biotechnology, with many of us having real-world research experience.  We work with a range of clients, including those at an early stage and with clinical assets, from small businesses to industry leading FTSE 100 companies, including start-ups, academic research organisations, university spin-outs and venture capital funds.  Many of our attorneys also have extensive in-house experience, providing us with valuable insight into preparing an IP portfolio that is desirable for partnering.  Our technical expertise and experience working with clients at all stages of development, allows us to provide advice tailored to both our clients’ technology area and the growth of their business.
