What We Do

If you are in the business of innovation and creativity, you face a radically different legal and market reality compared to businesses dealing with more traditional products and services. Meeting your legal needs often requires in-depth knowledge of your particular field, and an understanding that sometimes the existing legal framework may be ill-equipped to fully understand or deal with your challenges.

The lawyers and agents at Kenneth Back LLP have that knowledge and understanding.

Unique Business Services For Unique Clients

Many members of our team of lawyers, patent agents and staff have direct experience working in innovative industries. We understand how intellectual property and creativity colours every aspect of the corporate commercial services we provide for you, as well as our work in:

  • Litigation: Our litigation team can help you with issues, such as employment and contract disputes, but we are also aware that the heart of your business are your ideas. We have the experience and creativity to pursue patent prosecution, trademark and copyright challenges, and other disputes that deal directly with your intellectual and creative property, even in areas where the law is in its infancy. Through our partnership with investment funds, we also have the capacity to fund commercial lawsuits for clients who may have valuable IP, but not the funds to pursue infringers.
  • Intellectual property (IP): Acquiring patents, trademarks and copyrights is at the core of many of our clients' business plans. Our patent and trademark agents can ensure that your intellectual property is protected when you bring your ideas to the market. We also handle international trademark registrations, IP-driven business agreements, licensing agreements, trademark cancellations and oppositions, and a variety of other IP-related needs.
  • Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts: Members of the Wills, Trusts and Wealth Management practice provide clients with expertise on the effective transfer of wealth from one generation to the next. Our estate planning services includes a thorough review of your needs based on your own personal objectives and family values, including the preparation of customized Wills, trust planning, tax and wealth management planning, domestic contracts, business succession planning, planned giving and incapacity planning. We regularly assist our clients with estate and trust administration, including but not limited to probate applications, advising executors, administrators and beneficiaries of their rights and obligations, and the distribution of assets to beneficiaries.

In addition, we help our clients with the particular privacy and data protection concerns that are relevant to idea-related businesses.
