IP services for UK accountants & tax advisers.
Lawrie advises on IP rights and secures patents for Patent Box.
We ensure IP and patent box opportunities are identified and maximised.
Do you want to help your clients reduce their corporation tax?
HMRC’s Patent Box scheme for the reduction of Corporation Tax has had a surprisingly low uptake since its introduction in 2013, particularly when it sits beside the well-used R&D Tax Credit scheme.
While UK businesses seem generally aware of Patent Box and its benefits, there seems to be a number of hurdles that are preventing them from accessing it – having the necessary patents in place being one of them.
Lawrie offers patentability audits of businesses and fixed fee Patent Box filing and prosecution packages to make it easy for your clients to obtain the patents they need to access Patent Box.
Without the right IP expert working by your side your clients may not realise the full potential of their innovation, and may not be able to benefit from Patent Box.
We understand the need to have a reliable team of IP experts, working alongside you, delivering results to help your client.
Your client’s innovations have created a great business and now they need assistance to fully realise the benefits of their innovation. At Lawrie we pride ourselves in caring for their business needs just as much as you do.
We know that IP can be a difficult part of a business strategy. But we also know that – when managed properly – it can completely transform the success of a company. Your client’s business deserves to reach new heights.
Our mission is simple – to be the easiest intellectual property team to work with and to make IP a pain-free experience. We will clearly set out the best strategy for your client’s IP to secure the outcome they need and will provide clear costs and carefully considered advice.
