Legal opinions

Drafting a legal opinion is a service designed to meet a specific need of the business that requests it.

Legal opinions are valuable in many different situations such as: deciding whether to continue or discontinue a particular course of action, for example a commercial initiative; assessing possible defence strategies, as occurs in the event of disputes; determining if there are grounds for legal action (infringement opinions); claiming ownership of an IP right; evaluating whether to file an IP right application.

The widely differing types of legal opinion generally precede commercial activities and legal actions pursued both out of court and in court.

Legal opinions must provide solid guidance and enable businesses to make informed decisions.

To achieve this, before giving a legal opinion, we listen to and assess your needs and circumstances, then we carry out a study and analysis based on our legal expertise in intellectual property matters.

How we work

IP legal opinions require an in-depth analysis of legal doctrine and the study of case law, with the support of specialized databases, to explore all legal aspects of the matter under examination. We carry out a detailed study during this interim stage to arrange a complete opinion, providing a practical solution and making you aware of the advantages and possible risks associated with different courses of action.
