At Boult Wade Tennant, our attorneys aren’t simply another patent or trade mark adviser. Our attorneys are commercially-minded, enthusiastic, motivated team players who are approachable and down-to-earth – and one more thing, they are great at what they do.

Our patents (life science, chemical, engineering and high tech) and trade mark teams are recognised as some of the best in Europe. We have been consistently named a top tier firm in all legal directories, including: Legal 500, Chambers and Partners, MIP Stars, IAM 1000 and WTR 100 since we began the submission process in 2007. We believe the directories provide evidence of our high quality, pragmatic and commercially focused advice:
