Intellectual Property Support

We provide a comprehensive list of services for corporate legal departments across a wide range of industry sectors, assisting Group Legal and Patent & Trade Mark Formalities teams with their notarisation, legalisation and filing requirements. Our service extends to global legalisation assistance and liaising with both U.K & overseas markets and associates. We support companies who have a network of worldwide offices, offering a one-stop-shop solution for documents to be managed effectively from one source, overcoming delays and extra costs which can be incurred by using local markets where legalisation support is lacking or difficult to obtain. We also offer comprehensive advice on legalising documents overseas, including costs, procedures and any issues which may arise.

Documents we process on a daily basis include:

• Patent & Trade Mark Documentation
• Powers of Attorney
• Assignments
• Authorisations
• Companies House Certificates

Our Services
We process 1000’s of documents for legalisation on a weekly basis from clients all over the world, and a significant proportion of this volume is legal documentation, which we either receive directly from our corporate clients, their associates or Notaries.
We offer a “one-stop” solution for your documentation authentication requirements, including arranging authentication by a Notary Public, Apostille by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Legalisation by the relevant Embassy. We also provide technical translations for all legal documents, using experienced certified translators, a service which is often required when lodging documents at Embassies/Consulates overseas for certain markets.

Depending on the market concerned, we evaluate the ‘optimum’ legalisation route in terms of compliance, speed and cost to deliver the best possible service to our customers.
