Junior Seminar: Intellectual Property in Commercial Cases - issues and opportunities

Thursday, 11 December 2025
Registration, breakfast and networking 08:00 - 08:45
Seminar 08:45 - 09:30
Venue: Maitland Chambers, 7 Stone Buildings, Lincoln's Inn, WC2A 3SZ.

Presented by Amanda Hadkiss, Emily Gailey and Charles King.

IP issues will often arise within wider business disputes, which can be a source of anxiety and uncertainty for commercial litigators who do not deal with IP matters on a day-to-day basis.

In this seminar Amanda, Charles and Emily will discuss how to spot when IP issues might arise in a commercial dispute, and will provide a toolkit to enable practitioners to handle such issues with greater confidence. They will provide a summary (aimed at those with little prior knowledge of IP law) of the key elements of the main types of intellectual property, and will provide practical and straightforward tips and strategies for navigating such issues when they arise in commercial litigation.

This seminar is ideal for junior practitioners (around 10 years PQE or under) or for anyone in need of a quick refresher.
