How we do it

We offer technology-focused, intuitive, flexible legal services that help our clients to manage risks, protect their businesses and grow.

Intellectual Property

Protect and commercialise your IP with us.

We offer a full range of IP services, including prosecuting patents, trademarks and registered designs, IP management and IP commercialisation. Our technology-focused approach allows us to reduce the costs and time, demystify complex IP transactions and, through our DYI tools, empower our clients and protect and manage their IP rights.

Through our AfriLegal platform, we provide an end-to-end solution for our clients to protect their IP rights, manage their IP portfolios, and perform patent searches backed by an Artificial Intelligence enabled patent search tool.

AfriLegal empowers a DIY tool that allows our clients to apply for provisional patent, design or trademark applications. Clients can manage their IP portfolio, send instructions, receive reminders of upcoming due dates, and make payments through our platform. This platform empowers our clients to:

  • take control of their IP portfolio;
  • reduce the cost of managing their IP; and
  • efficiently and effectively process instructions.

We also offer an automated patent search tool, in co-operation with Amplified AI, that allows our clients to search and retrieve relevant patent documents using an Artificial Intelligence tool to retrieve relevant prior art quickly and efficiently. Amplified reads over 140 million patents documents, so our clients don’t have to. Amplified allows our clients to focus on their work without thinking through complex queries and reading distracting noise.

  • Search, share and collaborate on global patent data.
  • Keep track of ideas, invention disclosures, and patent activity.
  • Build an internal knowledge database.

Local and International Trade

Let us help you to get your goods and services to the market.

Trade is a complex area of law, and the movement of goods and services between jurisdictions is increasingly affected by governmental actions, politics and resources. We provide international trade legal services that allow us to work with our clients to commercialise their technologies and IP rights locally and abroad. We work with local and international businesses and financial institutions on their most strategically important and complex technology projects and transactions.

We advise on the full range of legal, regulatory and commercial issues relating to all aspects of IP, trade, business technology and digital transformation. We have deep expertise, honed on some of the market’s marquee technology transactions and corporate tech projects, covering the most important areas of activity, including M&A, joint ventures and other types of collaboration-based partnerships, as well as other business. We assist our clients in navigating the complex and sometimes competing requirements to which they may be subject.
