We Are Ward

Ward is a company focused completely on trade marks. While other practices dilute their offering by advising generally across several areas of law, we are Chartered Trade Mark Attorneys, allowing us to offer you unrivalled expertise.

Headed by Rachael and Bill Ward, Ward Trade Marks was set up in 2014 as a specialist trade mark attorney practice. Working both nationally and internationally to help clients select, register and protect trade marks, they handle portfolios of all sizes in a way that’s simple, efficient and cost effective.
