 YorSolicitor launches its new website


Logo

YorSolicitor is delighted to announce the recent launch of its new website. We felt the need to freshen up our existing website and have worked hard to produce something that reflects the practice. We are very happy with the outcome.

'The new website will hopefully act as another platform in alerting potential customers to the services that we offer' said Dr. Eileen McMorrow, Principal Solicitor for the practice, 'its appearance is bright and attractive, and really gives us a fresh and improved online presence. We believe it will play an important role in the further development of our practice'.

Please feel free to visit our new website at www.yorsolicitor.co.uk We hope you like it as much as we do and we would welcome any feedback.

YorSolicitor plays host to top solo I.P professionals
Office

On Monday 20th September, YorSolicitor, a York-based, specialist intellectual property, commercial and IT contract solicitors' practice, played host to a group of top solo intellectual property solicitors from across the country. The event held was a training session by Westlaw IP training - a company that provides training to intellectual property lawyers for matters of online referencing.

Yorkshire has long been seen as one of the most advanced areas in the country for intellectual property, with some of the country's top solo I.P solicitors and patent and trade mark attorneys being based in Yorkshire. The meeting represented a rare chance for these people to congregate, learn more about Westlaw and discuss I.P issues. Attending the meeting were James Love of James Love Legal, Howard Lock of Howard Lock Intellectual Property, Nick White of Tangible IP, Michael Harrison of Harrison IP and, from London, Barbara Cookson of Filemot.

"It's really exciting to get some I.P experts together in York", said Dr. Eileen McMorrow, YorSolicitor's Principal Solicitor, "We, at YorSolicitor, are always looking for ways to get together and collaborate with other specialists in our field and we are delighted that this event provides further opportunity for this to happen".
