We understand
that clear, communicable domain names are an essential tool for advertising a
business and communicating with its customer base. Unfortunately, less
well-meaning individuals and organisations understand this too. We've advised
many clients in actions to recover domain names registered abusively by third
parties hoping to disrupt their clear communication with customers, whether to
divert traffic or simply extract a cash payment.
Why choose our Domain Names lawyers?
Our extensive experience advising on numerous actions under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy and specific dispute resolution procedures of national domain registries means that we are equipped to assist clients when they need it most.
We can undertake proceedings on a fixed fee basis and help clients build a clear enforcement strategy that keeps costs down by avoiding duplication of work. And where matters become more complex, our wider expertise in IP and contractual litigation comes into play.
Domain names should speak to customers clearly and unambiguously. We help ensure that no third party is in a position to compromise that priority.
