01Your goals

Where are you now?

Every company goes through the same stages, and so does every brand or invention. The legal questions change at each one. Pick the stage you are at.

Your brand

From the first name idea to the courtroom. The cheapest brand problem is the one you catch before launch.

  1. 01 Choose and clear your brand Pick a name you can actually own, in every market you plan to enter.
  2. 02 Register your trademark File in the right classes and countries. Protect your logo and designs where they matter, and never miss a renewal.
  3. 03 Use and license your brand A mark you do not use, you can lose. Use it properly, then license it to partners and franchisees, or sell it.
  4. 04 Enforce your brand Copycats rarely stop on their own. Oppose look-alike filings early, have counterfeits taken down, recover domain names.

Your inventions

From the lab to the courtroom. Talk to a patent attorney before you publish or pitch: what you disclose too early, you may no longer be able to patent.

  1. 01 Develop and innovate Working with a university or a partner? Agree who owns the results before the work starts.
  2. 02 Patent your invention Decide what to patent and what to keep secret. Then file in time, and choose between the Unitary Patent and national patents.
  3. 03 Commercialise your technology License or sell your technology at a price that reflects what it is worth. The tax rules on IP income can work in your favour.
  4. 04 Enforce your patents Stop infringers, or defend yourself when someone claims you infringe. Before national courts or the UPC.

Your company

From the first founders’ agreement to the day you sell: the legal side of every stage of your company.

  1. 01 Start a company Set up the company and agree terms with your co-founders. Above all, make sure the company, not you personally, owns what you build.
  2. 02 Finance your growth Raise money from investors. Subsidies and tax incentives for innovation make it go further.
  3. 03 Grow your business Hire people without letting your know-how walk out the door. Work with distributors. Expand abroad.
  4. 04 Restructure Reorganise your group or bring in new shareholders. Often the real question is which entity should hold the IP.
  5. 05 Buy or sell a business Check what you’re buying, or get your company ready so buyers pay full value for it.

Your business relationships

Everyone you do business with, from the first tender to the day you part ways.

  1. 01 Find and select partners Run or answer a tender. Check who you are dealing with before you sign.
  2. 02 Contract Contracts in plain language, with your IP and your data properly covered. SaaS, services, distribution, supply, licensing.
  3. 03 Perform and manage Your business changes. Your contracts have to keep up: renewals, amendments, deadlines, audits.
  4. 04 Resolve disputes or end the relationship Try to settle first. If that fails, mediation, arbitration or court. And if you part ways, end the contract cleanly.

Your digital compliance

The rules that apply at every stage. Which ones hit you depends on what you sell, and to whom.

  1. 01 GDPR and privacy Personal data, handled lawfully: your record of processing, cookies, data subject requests, and what to do after a breach.
  2. 02 AI Act Find out which AI Act duties apply to you as a provider or user of AI, and when.
  3. 03 Data Act and data sharing Share or license your data on your terms, and meet the access and switching rules of the Data Act.
  4. 04 Operational resilience: NIS2 and DORA NIS2 and, in financial services, DORA: keep your services running, manage your suppliers and report incidents on time.
  5. 05 Secure products: Cybersecurity Act and Cyber Resilience Act Bring hardware and software to the EU market that meet the Cyber Resilience Act, and use EU cybersecurity certification where it counts.
  6. 06 Online platforms: Digital Services Act Host user content or run a marketplace? Set up notice and action, transparent terms and trader checks under the DSA and the P2B Regulation.
  7. 07 Consumer law and e-commerce Selling online to consumers comes with a long checklist. Information duties, withdrawal and guarantees, pricing and reviews, green claims, accessibility.
  8. 08 Sanctions and anti-money laundering Screen customers and partners, and know what the sanctions and anti-money laundering rules expect of you.

02How we work

What you can count on

Quality

Your question goes to the right specialist, who also looks at what it touches elsewhere in your business. You explain your situation once. Every result is checked and signed off by one of our lawyers or patent attorneys.

Clear costs

We agree the price before we start: a fixed fee, a retainer, a subscription or another arrangement that suits you. No open-ended hourly billing.

Speed

A clearance search with advice, an EUIPO or Benelux filing, a response in an opposition: usually done in one working day. We work with a range of AI models, including models we trained and fine-tuned ourselves, on our own infrastructure, for legal and IP work. That is how we work faster and at a fixed fee.

Privacy

Dedicated privacy gates of our own filter personal data and confidential or privileged information out of your files before anything reaches an outside AI model. No outside provider can learn from your files or train on them. This website doesn’t track you either: no cookies to accept, no pixels, no banner.
