What others say about us

"We have a strong relationship with Clarke Willmott, as we have been a client of one of the firm's Partners, Roy Crozier, for more or less 10 years.  With him and his team, we have been successfully guided through many difficult national and international IP related disputes without fail.  Our counterparts in these disputes have often been large multi-national companies. Clarke Willmott offer us an almost tailor-made or boutique type of legal service yet one which covers many aspects of our legal needs, which we believe is a unique offering"

Fred Perry

"We have worked with Paul Cox for about 10 years and, in that time, he has obtained some great results for us. He has an in-depth knowledge of the toy industry and provides very practical and commercial advice  Our brand and products are the most valuable part of our business and we trust Paul and Clarke Willmott to look after them."

"We cannot fault their level of service. The response time is incredible. We have often emailed Clarke Willmott at 7pm on a Friday evening and received a response with advice within the hour. Legal matters quite often arise unexpectedly and cause a lot of anxiety. Having professional help at hand so quickly is a great asset. Not only is the advice fast but it is always knowledgeable, unbiased, professional and well communicated (in a language non-lawyers can understand). Not being a London firm makes Clarke Willmott great value for money. Furthermore, fast and accurate first time advice often results in issues being dealt with very quickly and effectively - this too has a huge impact on reducing costs."

"We have been using the services of the IP team at Clarke Willmott since 2008 and they have provided value in shaping ACCA’s global trade mark protection and enforcement policy. Paul Cox and the team are focused on customer delivery and adding value over and above providing sound and commercial expertise."

ACCA

"I have worked with Roy Crozier for a number of years on anti-counterfeiting and other intellectual property matters. He has the ability to apply practical and technical legal solutions in a manner which demonstrates his commercial awareness of the realities involved in doing business whilst protecting and exploiting valuable IP assets. I would not hesitate to recommend Roy and his team to other leading brands."
