Richard Turner has been amBX's Patent Attorney for nearly 25 years, from even before we spun the business out of Philips Research. He helped us to draft and file our considerable body of IP during the early development of the concept in the Research Labs and then through the new business creation process. After spin out he was engaged by our new independent company (now being a free agent himself) to continue to manage the transfer and ongoing maintenance of over 30 patent families filed globally as well as trademarks and other IP. Over the intervening years the IP has matured and had some additions - the majority of the cases are now granted in multiple territories. Richard has also aided us along the way as we structured the licensing of the core IP and evolved the portfolio to suit our software product licensing business. Over all this time, and more recently also as part of SH&P along with his colleagues there, we have had excellent support, advice and value for money. The results in successful grants of the material across the world speak for themselves, and we have been helped to really understand how to use, maintain and develop our IP effectively.

David Eves | Chief Technology Officer, Director & Founder | amBX Limited

It’s very difficult to write a review of the services I’ve received from SH&P, and specifically Mr Peter Cornford, without seeming to be nothing but complimentary. However, one of our key brands was secured through a difficult and challenging claim against a major media company led by Peter and has subsequently been protected by the exceptional efforts of SH&P. I only have complimentary comments to make regarding the communication of Mr Cornford during my on-going dealings with his firm. Complex legal issues are explained in layman’s terms to allow me to make well-advised decisions which, to date, have always produced positive results. If I make enquiries to SH&P, those enquiries are responded to quickly and with definitive advice which allows me to focus on the progress of my business in the knowledge I’ve received the best value trademark and IP legal direction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SH&P and Peter Cornford to any business that needs accurate and reliable advice as well as other legal services in the protection of IP and trademarks.

Brian Baker | Executive Chairman | The Carry On Entertainment Group Limited

WPL have made a number of business decisions based on advice given and believe this has enhanced our intellectual property portfolio, resulting in improved profitability. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Stevens Hewlett & Perkins.

Andrew Baird | Technical Director | WPL Ltd

SH&P consistently provide clear and concise advice on frankly quite challenging topics. Reading their emails always leaves me feeling very clear and up to date on where we are from an IP point of view. That can't be said for the written advice that many other lawyers send me!

The Reedbut Group have been working with Richard Turner and his team for nearly 10 years and I have personally worked with Richard on patent documents for the last two years. Throughout the process we undertake with our patent submissions Richard has been an invaluable resource. The level of due diligence and support he shows to ensure that we as a business understand the application and search report actions is highly appreciated. Not only does he offer clear guidance, but he also customer focussed and very reactionary to ours needs as a business. We are not experts in this field, but with the guidance we have received over the years from Richard has allowed us to not only improve our knowledge, but also file numerous successful patents which have protected us a business and allowed us to stay ahead of the competition when it comes to innovation.

Stuart Deaton | Customer Experience Director | The Reedbut Group Limited

I need a firm to take the 'headache' out of managing an intellectual property portfolio. They alert me only to to commercial matters and filter out the 'management' issues. This allows me to use my time efficiently and effectively.
