The WTR 1000 includes the following commentary about the firm:
“For brand-rich entities seeking the full trademark service, Carpmaels & Ransford is a beacon of light. Its team of versatile and collaboratively minded practitioners regularly team up to solve complex IP problems for well-known brands. Captaining the trademark team, Roger Lush skilfully navigates patrons through the complexities of the trademark lifecycle, with a focus on business realities and high-quality customer service. Appreciated for her pragmatic approach, Lara Elder dispenses clear recommendations that effectively aid her clients’ decision making in relation to their valuable IP assets. She teams up with Jonathan Day to deftly manage the trademark portfolio of Manzanita Capital – which encompasses world-famous brands such as Space NK – and closely monitor the market to take decisive action against lookalikes and counterfeit products. A safe pair of hands for all manner of instructions, Day stands out as a creative problem solver who goes above and beyond to meet the needs of his following. Dispute-resolution maven Ian Kirby has put in many resonant courtroom performances over his 30-year career and has done much to shape the legal landscape. Leading the IP transactions team, Jake Marshall is a poised negotiator and clear communicator who excels in particularly complex negotiations. He has recently been assisting McArthurGlen, Europe’s leading presence in designer outlet shopping centres, draft and negotiate trademark licensing agreements with Cheshire Oaks and Swindon designer outlet centres.”
