Quotes & Awards

Willoughby & Partners - a formidable team

Willoughby & Partners in association with Rouse & Co. International's senior partner Tony Willoughby is often name-checked as the founding father and leading light of Intellectual Property in the UK. This should not lead clients to believe the firm lacks strength in depth. On the contrary, managing partner Shireen Peermohamed leads a formidable team of focused Intellectual Property specialists.... A client list including Coca-Cola, Getty Images, GlaxoSmithKline, and Sega speaks volumes for the firm's standing in the market.
