We have yet to find a business which does not rely upon intellectual property of some kind, and intellectual property (in a broad sense) is at the centre of nearly every leading business and its value.
Even where there is no obvious recorded intellectual property, there is likely something which is at the heart of making the business more successful, more scalable and (if this matters) more sale-able.
We will often discuss this with clients as part of the initial "get to know you" discussions, but can also offer this as a standalone service. Sometimes this can involve amendment to standard operating procedures (or creating them), whilst at other times it may simply be using intellectual property creatively as part of the normal way of doing business to leverage strategic advantages of the business.
As a particular service, we have worked with clients in the past to identify potential acquisition targets with strong IP portfolios, or to look for distressed companies who can be acquired and turned around by clients with suitable business capabilities and resources
