The London intellectual property team has the agility and intellectual capability to handle the most technically complex litigation in London and Europe, especially where there are cross-border elements, complementing Milbank’s expertise in the United States.

Our intellectual property attorneys are first and foremost business lawyers, committed to achieving results that make business sense. We also realize that an informed and creative approach to litigation can often add value. We work to understand the business objectives of our clients, and to design realistic strategies that accomplish their goals.

  • multi-party and multi-jurisdictional litigation

  • complex and high-value Oppositions and Appeals at the European Patent Office

  • infringement and validity opinions and behind the scenes pre-litigation counseling

  • mediation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution strategies

  • settlement negotiations

We also have broad experience in EU law, competition and antitrust issues, pharmaceutical regulation and general commercial litigation.
