Intellectual Property Lawyers London

About Us

Briffa is a specialist intellectual property law firm. We don’t have an overly corporate feel, and instead, we pride ourselves on a creative, customer-focused approach. We’re here to help you register, enforce and monetise your intellectual property rights.

Briffa was founded by Margaret Briffa in 1995. For the past 25+ years, we’ve grown gradually – adding more staff, more expertise, and developing wider coverage of the IP world. We’re proud to say we’re now an award-winning, leading firm in the industry.

Our team can help you solve a huge range of issues, from copyright to contracts. But regardless of what you need us for, there are a few core principles of our business:

Quick turnaround times – we strive to complete our work efficiently and effectively.
Business sense – we recommend the best course of action based on your commercial and business objectives, helping you to successfully resolve matters in a way that benefits your long-term aims.
Fair, transparent pricing with fixed fees – following an initial consultation, we provide open, honest feedback about your chances of success, along with fixed-fee quotes for our work.

Tamara Carlier ★★★★★ October 14, 2022
Dealing with Briffa has been a breeze – I'd highly recommend their services. I mostly dealt with Alex, but also exchanged correspondence with Suraj. I found they really made the effort to explain things in plain English to help me … More navigate the system. I'm delighted to have secured my trademark registration – I couldn't have asked for better service from start to finish.

I have just completed working with Charlotte from Briffa on a long overdue freelance contract. She was not only extremely helpful, but patient and happy to explain any areas I was unclear on, or needed further clarification. She understood … More exactly what I needed for quite a niche industry and ensured by new contract was ironclad to protect both me and my clients going forwards. Fantastic service and highly recommended.
