Carpmaels & Ransford LLP

When an entrepreneur named James Poole founded the firm that is now Carpmaels & Ransford back in 1776, he established a legacy that has shaped the world of intellectual property for over 200 years. Today, from its offices in London, Dublin and Munich, Carpmaels & Ransford is a formidable presence in European intellectual property, acting on behalf of some of the world's most innovative and successful companies. Never complacent, we are continually expanding our knowledge and experience by recruiting the brightest graduates and sharing our knowledge within the firm and throughout the profession. We have the largest specialist life sciences group on one site in Europe. We protect some of the most commercially valuable pharma products in the world, and many of our biotech cases form the basis of EPO case law. We are also engaged by some of the world's pre-eminent technology companies. Our clients are diverse, from large corporates through to start-ups. With long standing client relationships in the US, Asia and across Europe, we are deeply involved in managing some of the world's leading brands and IP portfolios. James Poole's motivation was to meet a need. He wanted to help innovators and businesses simplify the process of obtaining a patent. To this day, we are driven by the desire to unravel complexity and guide our clients through the challenges of IP ownership and rights.
