Firm Description

CMS is the leading European provider of legal and tax services. CMS Cameron McKenna is the UK-headquartered member of CMS with 13 offices in the UK, Central and Eastern Europe and beyond.

CMS has substantial Intellectual Property expertise. Our highly regarded team of more than 65 partners and over 80 associates has a wealth of IP experience and our lawyers are recognised by all of the legal directories.

Our Intellectual Property team is involved in the development of Intellectual Property law and policy – we are members of the International Trade Mark Association (INTA) and serve on a number of INTA committees. We also play an active role in EPLAW, PTMG, Marques, ITechLaw, AIPLA and AIPPI.

Our practice is focused around nine industry sectors including Lifesciences, Consumer Products and TMT.

Our practice and sector group matrix enables us to develop a comprehensive understanding of our clients’ businesses and markets and to constantly deliver sound and commercially relevant advice from any of our 30 offices. We focus on relationships, not deals, and we are considered more approachable and accessible than many of our competitors. Our clients tell us they like working with us and that we’re often seen as the human face of the law.

As a major law firm, we have responsibilities that extend beyond our client work. We are transparent about our approach to environmental management and we are proud of our community schemes across all of our office.
