Byrne Wallace Shields LLP‘s intellectual property team assists in a range of contentious and non-contentious IP mandates, including brand and design protection. Considered a go-to for clients in the life sciences sector, Colin Sainsbury leads the non-contentious IP offering and regularly drafts and negotiates licensing, supply and service agreements. Jane O’Grady, who joined as part of the merger in 2025, is a strong adviser on the IP aspects of acquisitions and sales, and the protection, commercialisation and infringement of IP more broadly.
