I have worked with Alex Fewtrell from Briffa to solve a difficult issue with my trademark. Other trademark lawyers lawyers told me before it was almost impossible to solve, but with Alex everything went so smoothly I would never have expected. I can not thank him enough and I highly recommend him and Briffa in general. You can trust the many other positive ratings - they are right.

In many instances having to refer to a law firm can be a stressful experience. However, when dealing with such knowledgeable lawyer like Josh there is nothing to worry about. From the very first moments of interaction I felt really taken care of and supported. He had a very deep understanding of the issue and stayed on top of the case at all times. It was my second time dealing with Briffa and I am absolutely amazed with the service and overall experience! Do not hesitate to give your business to them, these guys know what they are doing!

My company had issues with someone else marketing services using an almost identical trading name. I was recommended to contact Briffa and found them to be excellent. They took on responsibility for addressing the problem and ultimately resolving it to my satisfaction. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Wonderful service. Thomas was quick, responsive, informative and very professional, delivering our contract ahead of schedule. So happy to have found a solicitor who knows the creative industry so thoroughly and is such a pleasure to work with. Really looking forward to working with him again in the future.
