The laws concerning intellectual property can be complex and they are evolving fast – faster than they have ever done before.  One thing that has not changed is that successful brands and products attract imitators. We understand that you need IP advice that is flexible, reliable and up-to-date with the law and international developments – while being cost-effective, of course.

Our founder and Principal is Naazneen Schmittzehe, an IP lawyer with 25 years of experience in non-contentious and contentious IP.

With experience in a wide number of sectors including fashion, music, film, digital, publishing, luxury, retail, food, lifestyle, travel, sport and technology, at S&P Legal we understand the power of branding.

We believe that clients are best served by the individual attention and direct access that a small niche practice can provide.
