Legal Ink Lawyers & Notaries

Dispute Resolution

Current methods of dispute settlement such as negotiations, arbitration or mediation are used to secure results for our commercial clients with as little inconvenience and expense as possible. Courtroom litigation is pursued if the matter is not amenable to alternative dispute resolution or such option appears not viable in the circumstances. Our case management techniques and practices ensure that we use negotiation and other alternative dispute resolution methods to conclude cases as speedily and effectively as we can.

Real Estate & Conveyancing

We assist with the drafting, documentation and perfection of land transactions after the necessary due diligence services have been provided to ascertain the title and status of prospective land vendors. While conducting formal searches, private investigations are made to determine whether or not there are practical obstacles on the ground. We also have a proven track record in land litigation as well as other real estate and conveyancing disputes.

Intellectual Property

As Intellectual Property (IP) lawyers, we advise across the entire spectrum of IP rights. Legal Ink’s IP practice falls into three (3) categories: litigation, transactional and advisory services. Litigation over IP rights invariably involves infringement disputes.

As IP lawyers we assist in conducting an audit of a client’s IP rights; and advise on IP strategy and appropriate methods of protecting IP rights in commerce as well as the entertainment and sports industries. To offer clients the needed protection over their copyrights, trade names, and marks, we undertake registration of IP rights.
