Kempner Robinson, a new law firm, is being launched today (May 1) by 4 specialist intellectual property partners providing a range of specialist IP services and will bring together two of the UK’s leading intellectual property lawyers – Richard Kempner and Andy Robinson..
Based in Leeds, Kempner Robinson will specialise in intellectual property including patents, trade marks, copyright and designs. The firm already has several big name clients on its books including Jet2.com, supermarket giant ASDA and the world’s largest chemical company, BASF among others.
Mr Kempner, who was previously National Head of Addleshaw Goddard’s Intellectual Property Group, joins Mr Robinson, who is currently a partner at Robinsons, the niche intellectual property firm he created five years ago. The other partners at Kempner Robinson are Stuart Jackson, the former director of patent litigation at Addleshaw Goddard, and Jason Dainty - a partner in Robinsons.
Andy Robinson said: “The creation of Kempner Robinson is a great opportunity for us to grow a law firm dedicated to providing clients with a full range of services spanning all aspects of intellectual property law and commerce. Richard’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading intellectual property lawyers is outstanding and Kempner Robinson brings together some of the most experienced IP lawyers in the North and the UK.
“I am proud of what we have achieved at Robinsons having worked on some of the most significant IP cases in recent years and joining forces with Richard and Stuart will take us to a new level.”
Richard Kempner said: “Companies and big brands are becoming increasingly conscious of costs but still demand the best advice. We believe there are huge revenue opportunities available to companies who fully exploit their intellectual property but very few businesses are capitalising on their intellectual assets at the moment. Clients need not only specialist legal advice, but also practical, commercial advice, coupled with the wisdom gained from experience. That is what Kempner Robinson will deliver.”
He added: “Our clients tell us that there is a market for a personal service from top specialists at a reasonable price. At Kempner Robinson we will offer clients a personalised service providing the absolute best-quality advice with a significant reduction in price on what they would have to pay a London firm.”
Kempner Robinson clients include major brands such as ASDA, Jet2.com, BASF and e-Buyer. The firm is currently working on a significant parallel import case in the courts on behalf of the two largest bike importers and dealers in the UK in a dispute with Honda.
