Every business has some form of Intellectual Property (IP), and like any valuable asset, it is worth taking steps to protect it. In 2002, to enable us to offer IP protection services throughout the island of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, we formed a partnership with MacLachlan & Donaldson, a Dublin-based firm of Intellectual Property Attorneys. At that time, it was beneficial for the two offices to maintain their separate trading identities. However, over the last twenty-plus years, we have evolved. World events, such as Brexit and the Covid pandemic, have worked to mould the two offices into a single team operating in two locations. Now, to express the unity and solidarity both offices will be adopting the name MacLachlan IP. Cherrie Stewart, Director, says, “By adopting the MacLachlan IP name, we’re proudly reflecting the close partnership and shared values we’ve built with MacLachlan & Donaldson over the last twenty plus years. While the name is changing, what stays the same is our commitment to the expertise, client service, and trusted relationships that have been at the heart of Ansons for four decades. This is an exciting new chapter — and we’re looking forward to moving forward together as MacLachlan IP.” We are the same knowledgeable people, with the same values, and the same excellent service, just under a new banner. Our mission remains the same — to help protect Intellectual Property with the same dedication and excellence our clients have come to trust.
