INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Due to evolving uniformity and enforcement of intellectual property laws, companies have grown to appreciate the need for protecting intellectual property rights against infringement. This recognition has become a strategic advantage for businesses around the world. Whether a global enterprise or an individual entrepreneur with an innovative idea, protecting and making productive use of intellectual property is an integral component of long-term business growth and success. Companies appreciate now more than ever that patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are among their most valuable assets. Due to the substantial investment in product development and growth of intellectual property assets, companies face greater threats of infringement necessitating the need for management strategies designed for maximum protection.
LITIGATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A client cannot expect to achieve their objectives in a dispute whether measured in terms of a favourable settlement, a successful dispositive application, prevailing at trial or winning an appeal unless the Attorneys are able to appropriately manage the matter. A credible trial threat discourages frivolous litigation and unrealistic settlement demands. LB Legal Services have the depth of experience, knowledge, and resources to protect the interests of clients and navigate their conflicts whether conducting high stakes litigation, international arbitration, mediation, other settlement procedures or the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.
Each of our clients has individual business goals that require different approaches.
