About SH&P

Stevens Hewlett & Perkins is a leading firm of intellectual property (IP) professionals providing a full range of patent, trade mark, design and domain name dispute services.

However, we see our role as being more than just another ‘legal adviser’.

We understand that it takes a lot of hard work and passion to succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace. After all, we are a business too. Our friendly and very approachable team of specialist patent and trade mark attorneys will help you navigate the IP minefield, identify what is most important to you and ensure your resources deliver the maximum benefit to your business.

We have helped thousands of businesses from all corners of the globe, some of them for decades. Regardless of size, we provide the same level of excellence and expertise.

Our team is only a telephone call or a mouse click away and we offer a no obligation consultation service. Why not get in touch for a chat today?

SH&P are exemplary professionals. I have relied on their services for over three decades, and without a shadow of doubt, they have consistently delivered the utmost efficiency, thoroughness, and top-tier service..

What our clients say about us...

We have worked with SH&P for over 10 years, during which time they have supported our trade mark strategy in the UK and internationally. As the business has grown, SH&P have worked alongside us to ensure we have the right trade mark protection in place as and when needed. Their advice is clear, concise and commercially focused, supporting us with brand clearance searches, trade mark filings and the enforcement of our trade mark rights. SH&P are practical, responsive and trade mark trusted advisers, and I would confidently recommend them to any business looking to protect and grow its brand in the UK and overseas.
