Virtuoso Legal Limited

We're a small business and required legal advice on a potential copyright infringement, which we have no experience in. Both Martin and Liz were exceptional. They're advice was clear and precise. Highly recommended especially where copyright matters are concerned.

Whilst I don't practice IP any more in days gone by I had some very similar examples - remember the Inter Sun girl on the front cover of the holiday mags, well my clients produced another brown haired rather than blond girl calling her the Sol Girl, and the court said it was too similar. Tosh I said at the time! Maybe the cartoon offended less than calling her the 'Sol Girl'. On another occasion my clients Highland Spring bottle was said to look too similar to a French product called Perrier. How fashions change as it probably wouldn't have worked now there are so many similar examples and a lot less Perrier consumed. But it all goes to show that being smart with a products marketing by using circles or bottles or cartoons carries risks and its a point well made by Liz - again as it all depends whether the consumer could have got the brands mixed up.

Liz and her team have been outstanding at guiding me through the intricacies of trademarking my intellectual property. I would wholeheartedly recommend Virtuoso.

Virtuoso Legal have provided services to companies I have been involved with over several years. The level of service has been consistently high and very supportive, guiding us through some fairly complex and, at times, contentious, issues. I have complete confidence in Liz, Kirsten and the team.

We had a slightly complicated issue regarding intellectual property in the international sphere. Being somewhat niche it required that our legal support go the extra mile in researching to find the most appropriate action. I am delighted to say Liz and her team at Virtuoso did so both promptly and in great depth and were able, as a result, to offer a speedy and effective solution.

The team at IP specialists Virtuoso Legal are my ‘go to’ people for everything relating to trade mark matters.  They are quick to respond, proactive and really understand my business.  They are very effective and trustworthy advisors and I would recommend them to any business owner looking for sound, commercial trade mark advice.

I have known Liz for a very long time but had not been using Virtuoso legal until last year and overall it offers a very  professional and a very friendly service. Liz and Hallam at every stage tried to save costs where possible. The service was excellent and very professional and wherever possible they assisted us and at the same time gave excellent and professional advice.  I wish there were litigation lawyers like Virtuoso and I would definitely recommend their services for trade mark purposes to everyone. In my view they are the best trade mark lawyers.

We have an enduring relationship with Kirsten Toft from Virtuoso Legal, who we know will always give us excellent advice on all matters that are related to IP.  We are given expert advice quickly, in a succinct format that provides clarity.  Our ethos is totally client focussed and Virtuoso Legal has the same values, which make us highly compatible.  It’s really helpful that we have a world-class partner who also happens to be based in the great city of Leeds.

When MHR Clinic faced losing its brand to an unscrupulous competitor Liz and her team at Virtuoso Legal filled us with confidence that our IP battle could and would be won. From the moment we consulted them, they brought a strategic approach, a multi-faceted team and winning mentality to the table. These things were borne out in the victory they secured for us. After working with Virtuoso Legal our branding and IP problems ceased to exist. We would recommend them to anyone else in our predicament.
