Protecting intellectual property is an important part of building and maintaining a successful business. The team at Downie Stewart provides practical advice to help clients identify and protect their intellectual property rights, including trade marks, copyright and confidential information.  This includes putting in place licensing arrangements and clear contracts with employees, contractors and third parties. We help clients protect and commercialise the value of their intellectual property.

As businesses increasingly operate online and rely on digital platforms, having clear and effective technology documentation is essential. Downie Stewart assists clients with ICT and software agreements, licensing arrangements, website and app terms and conditions, privacy policies and compliance, and other technology-related contracts. We provide practical, commercially focused advice to help businesses manage risk and meet their legal obligations in the digital environment.
