Advisory & Strategy
Whether a client is entering a new MENA market, preparing for a deal, or rationalizing an existing portfolio, we help ensure that protection is deliberate, comprehensive, and commercially grounded. Getting the strategy right early avoids the filing gaps, ownership disputes, and enforcement limitations that are far more costly to resolve later. Get in touch to start the conversation early.

Prosecution
Where clients hold rights across multiple jurisdictions, we coordinate filings centrally to ensure consistency and avoid gaps. A century of practice before these offices means we understand how each one operates. The procedural nuances, the common objections, and what it takes to move a filing through to registration efficiently. The result is enforceable protection in the markets where it matters most. Get in touch to start the conversation early.

Enforcement
When rights are infringed, the response must be both legally sound and commercially practical. We work with clients to enforce their intellectual property across MENA through the most effective channel available, whether administrative, civil, or criminal, based on the jurisdiction, the nature of the infringement, and the outcome the client needs. Get in touch to start the conversation early.

Portfolio Management
For clients with complex regional portfolios, we provide centralized oversight that brings consistency and visibility across markets so that nothing lapses, nothing is overlooked, and the portfolio is always ready to support enforcement, transactions, or expansion when the moment arrives. Get in touch to start the conversation early.

IP Transactions
When clients are involved in transactions, we ensure that intellectual property is structured to work both commercially and within the legal frameworks of each jurisdiction involved. This includes identifying the relevant rights, aligning ownership, and ensuring that the structure agreed at the deal stage can be implemented without disruption across markets. Our role is to bridge the gap between commercial intent and local enforceability making sure that what is agreed at the deal table holds up in every market where it needs to. Get in touch to start the conversation early.
