Meet the Partner - Murgitroyd

Next in our Meet The Partner series, we introduce you to Murgitroyd, the global intellectual property attorney firm, who has partnered Converge Challenge since 2011, and provides £10,000 of in-kind support to our winners.

Converge highlights the fantastic partner organisations who provide a broad range of support and advice to our winners and alumni in this feature so you can learn more about what they do. The in-kind prize package is just as important an incentive to the overall winners. Together, we ensure the best possible start for any business. 

Q What can Murgitroyd help with?

Murgitroyd can help participants to make sure their intellectual property rights are protected at an early stage, helping to reduce one of the risk factors that comes with founding and growing a new business.

Murgitroyd can advise, for example, on patent, trade mark and design rights, copyrights, trade secrets and overall intellectual property strategy.
