We Are Creative Creatures
Paris Smith LLP
I approached Paris Smith based on the recommendations of another law firm I had worked with previously, regarding the split from an ex business partner. They helped me detangle the IP issues as part of the buyout and, importantly, supported me through the various aspects of the overall dispute. Business is not just business – especially not for SMEs like me! So, it was critically important that Laura and Helen understood both the business issues, but also had an appreciation for how I might want to deal with things considering my personal objectives as well as outlook on life. I would recommend the team because they deeply care about their clients and are able to marry up the cold legal world with the softer needs of the people they are trying to help.
Marine Data
Paris Smith LLP
We needed a lawyer to review and protect potential sources of IP in existing products, in addition, raising awareness within the R&D team to identify and highlight potential IP when developing new products. Laura Trapnell and the team at Paris Smith resolved this by conducting a comprehensive IP audit of our products which also highlighted R&D process improvements to help capture potential future sources of IP. The approach was well structured, straightforward and pragmatic, which suited our business as an SME well. A very valuable and worthwhile exercise.

Eastleigh Borough Council
Paris Smith LLP
I am delighted to have the opportunity to say a few words about Paris Smith, who I have known and worked with for over 20 years. It would be too easy to simply say that they provide a highly professional and efficient planning consultancy and legal service. Of course they do, but the relationship both I and Eastleigh Borough Council enjoy with Paris Smith goes well beyond that of the normal client and contractor scenario. It is much more a partnership that we have developed over many years based on trust, mutual respect and a real understanding of our priorities and needs.

The Incuhive Group
Paris Smith LLP
I approached Paris Smith to provide legal support for the acquisition of a substantial commercial property which involved some very complex bespoke terms, dealing with a large corporate company in the UK. I have known of Paris Smith for some time via business connections and networks, where they always come very highly recommended. Paris Smith supported us in 16 months of solicitor negotiations, including keeping things pushing forward across a national lockdown thanks to Covid-19, offering quick and personal updates on progress of the acquisition and demonstrated a high level of detail when reviewing a large amount of documentation. I often recommend Paris Smith to fellow business connections and we will certainly be using the team at Paris Smith again in due course.
