Elkington + Fife

We work inside the business of ideas. This means we combine a deep knowledge of intellectual property with a clear understanding of the commercial issues that go with it. It’s an approach that sets us apart from our competitors and equips us to tackle a diverse range of business challenges for our clients. You may be seeking to protect your ideas to gain a competitive edge or to prevent others’ rights from threatening your business – whatever the situation, our well-respected team is here to provide direct advice that you can act on and which is tailored to your business. And thanks to our size, you can expect your work to have a greater degree of partner input than you might receive at larger IP firms. Ultimately, our goal is to put you first and enable you to make the best-informed commercial decisions. Who we are We are a firm of patent and trade mark attorneys based in Holborn, central London, and Sevenoaks in Kent. Established in 1927, we are proud of our long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality IP services to our clients. Carefully recruiting from academia, in-house departments and private practice firms, we have built a team of IP professionals with excellent legal knowledge and an acute commercial awareness. Crucially, we understand that it is always business imperatives which drive our clients’ need for IP services. We are consistently recognised for excellence – the Legal 500, for example, cites our “outstanding team” – and we pride ourselves on giving our clients the reassurance that comes from knowing their business interests are in safe hands.
