Ex-Clyde & Co partner launches law firm in Middle East
The former head of Clyde & Co's IP team in the Middle East and North Africa region has launched his own law firm, Deans IP.
Rob Deans, founding principal of the new firm, has practised as an IP lawyer since 1994 and has been in the Middle East since 2003.
Headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, Deans IP coverage extends across the Middle East.
The firm undertakes a full range of IP related work including the prosecution of trademarks, patents and designs; litigation and enforcement of IP rights; and the commercialisation of IP rights.
Deans said: “The goal when I arrived in the Middle East was to build the best IP practice in the region. At the time, it was enough to deliver high quality work. However, while providing work of the highest quality is essential, this is no longer enough.
“The new firm provides a platform where the infrastructure is designed around our clients and their needs. This enables us to grow with and for our clients, by maintaining our focus where it should be—listening to our clients and delivering solutions that work for them.”
