Great to host our Lunch & Learn yesterday with Bird & Bird Ireland 🇮🇪

We explored how startups and scaling businesses can protect and commercialise their Intellectual Property — from trademarks and design rights to NDAs and market entry strategy.

💡 Key takeaway: strong, evidence-backed cases showed just how valuable a well-built IP portfolio can be — not just for protection, but as a real business asset.

The session was highly interactive, with lots of great questions throughout, and real-life case examples that brought the discussion to life.

Huge thanks to Sarah McMullen and Isabel Humburg for sharing their expertise and practical insights 👏

👉 If you’re interested in AI and legal risk, they’re also hosting a free webinar on 12 May:
“AI Disputes Decoded: Trends in AI Litigation” — a great overview of AI and liability concerns.
