“Harry Rowe has excellent communication skills, often having to translate complicated legal agreements for me in a way that I will understand them. He makes sure to get a very clear understanding of what’s unique about our business and can think laterally to identify issues that might become an issue for us in the future.”

“What we liked especially was having one point-person to manage our affairs, right from initial no-obligation chat, to engagement, all the way through to resolution of the trade mark issue we were facing. We were very impressed by Harry Rowe’s professionalism from the start. The whole process ran very smoothly and was painless and cost-effective, and we were very happy with the advice we received and the result achieved.
