Ed Gretton, Head of Legal - Hanson UK

We have for many years engaged with Stevens Hewlett & Perkins in relation to the protection and enforcement of our IP assets and enjoy an excellent working relationship with them. The advice we receive is not only clear and concise but tailored to factor in our commercial needs. In relation to the general management of our portfolio, SH&P have worked alongside us to develop reporting and billing protocols which enable us to deal with our IP issues and requirements in an effective and efficient manner.

Our company has worked with Stephens Hewlett & Perkins for several years on patents for our product “Guardian”. The specific partner dealing with all our applications has been Sarah Perkins. We have always found Sarah’s work on the patents of the highest standard regardless of which geographical area of the world she was dealing with, however Sarah has often gone above and beyond our expectations in her advice on the practicalities of actions to be taken to protect the patents. Furthermore she has been unstinting in her time and advice on making sure we understood the importance of being first to market in the fledgling years of our company when there seem to be so many things to do and we were unsure of the order which best suited our company structure. We will continue to leave our portfolio of patents in the safe hands of SH&P and Sarah in particular where we can rest assured reminders of renewal or further actions will be advised to us in good time. In this world of commercial insecurity in the business place it is good to know we have our commercial back protected at all times.

J. C. Atkinson & Sons have worked with Stevens Hewlett & Perkins for a number of years and their intellectual property services have been invaluable in supporting and developing our business.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with Stevens Hewlett & Perkins.

Richard Morris, Managing Director - Mexican Grill Limited

We recently looked at franchising our business across the Middle East and required SH&P to help us with all our documentation for the different countries.

The advice given was always clear and concise and I would be happy to recommend SH&P to any future clients

Richard Lane, Director, Corporate Services - W.D.M. Limited

Ean Brown, Director - Genius IP Ltd

I seldom write such reviews, which in of itself speaks volumes. As a former General Counsel to two large firms I have used many trademark agents. In the end, I consolidated all the IP work with SH&P. They are extremely efficient, commercial and reliable. I need a firm to take the “headache” out of managing an intellectual property portfolio. They alert me only to to commercial matters and filter out the “management” issues. This allows me to use my time efficiently and effectively. After starting my own business as a firm that commercialises intellectual property and brings inventions to market, I chose to use SH&P for my own work. I need strong commercial advice at a sensible price. This is what you get from SH&P. In particular, working with Peter Cornford is a pleasure. He is virtually always available when you call (never an answer machine) and if he is not available, someone else from the team is able to step in. I have great confidence in the strength and management of my IP portfolio while partnered with SH&P. Great people to deal with and great people to know.

Mark Smith, Chairman - Little Mistress Group Ltd

Working with Stevens, Hewlett and Perkins has allowed us at the Little Mistress Group to develop our collections and customer basis internationally. The SH&P team are a pleasure to work with and their manifest capabilites allows us to continue our expansion with real confidence. On the rare occasions that we have encountered conflicts upon registration in foreign markets, each issue has been handled with professionalism, commercial knowledge and ‎assurance. As well as on top of their brief, Peter Cornford and the team are a pleasure to work with, combining a style of courtesy combined with modern day insight. We look forward to continuing our business relationship for many years to come

Stevens Hewlett & Perkins in Bristol (with Peter Cornford as our main contact) have looked after our trade marks portfolio and related issues for a number of years and have always provided us with a speedy, professional service. As we are a global Group with many own brands, we often also need to use local trade mark attorneys in other countries; S H & P are able to liaise with them on our behalf to provide us with what we need in relation to our multiple trade mark searches and applications.
