Our history

Our firm can be traced back to 1891 when David Young opened our first office. And although the IP landscape has since changed beyond recognition, one thing remains the same: our focus on providing the highest quality IP service possible.

Throughout the past 130 years, we’ve always been bold, proactive and forward-looking, supporting innovative organisations of every shape and size.
