Mishcon Future | Corporate and Innovation Lawyers

We work with clients at every stage of the innovation life cycle, from the technology transfer functions of our leading universities and research institutes, to early-stage companies through their growth and acquisition, to scale-ups and on into multi-national corporates seeking to stay relevant and challenge convention. Our mission is to shape a better world through innovation, creating value for our clients and for society.

Fuelling this mission is our understanding of the Innovation Equation. Every innovator has a fundamental problem to solve or opportunity to realise. In an equation this is called “x”. We believe the keys to unlocking “x” and achieving innovation are: leadership, expertise and risk. We help innovators become stronger leaders by sharing expertise gained from our years of experience in the innovation space and by helping them to embrace and navigate risk.

Solving the Innovation Equation enables the creation of value in businesses of all sizes: economic value which drives investor and shareholder returns, societal value which creates tangible change that people can feel.

Who we help

Our mission is to shape a better world through innovation, creating value for our clients and for society.

Ed Turner, Partner

Our scale-up experience focuses on advising founders, entrepreneurs and management teams. For all of them the line, between business and personal is often understandably complex but important.

Our mission is to understand their aspirations and concerns, to fiercely guard their interests and to steer transactions through to successful conclusions. Whilst we know how to generate opportunities for our clients, we are equally focussed on managing risk.

Our global business experience includes resolving high stakes, high profile, complex disputes. We have acted in some of the most significant and influential disputes across intellectual property, data, competition and fraud. Our work includes cross-border patent and infringement actions, through to trademarks, design and copyright litigation involving household brands and famous designs. We are located in the UK's key innovation hubs of Oxford, Cambridge and London, and in Asia's key hubs of Singapore and Hong Kong.
