Blackwood Global IP Ltd welcomes referral relationships, correspondent arrangements, and matter-specific instructions from foreign law firms.
The Gambia, Sierra Leone & Liberia
We aim to respond within 24-48 business hours
Foreign law firms and in-house legal teams require clarity, reliability, and procedural certainty when instructing counsel in emerging jurisdictions.
Our practice is intentionally structured to work with foreign law firms—not in parallel to them. We understand foreign firms remain client-facing and local counsel must be procedurally exact.
West African IP regimes are not uniform. We provide registry-level procedural guidance and practical intelligence on what actually works in each jurisdiction.
Foreign firms instruct us for complete lifecycle IP support including prosecution, ARIPO filings, office action strategy, watch services, and enforcement coordination.
We provide practical, experience-based guidance grounded in current registry practice rather than theoretical timelines, helping you manage client expectations accurately.
Our leadership brings hands-on experience supporting trademark enforcement and opposition matters involving internationally recognised brands, informing realistic enforcement advice.
Our working style reflects UK and EU legal practice norms with clear advice, registry-ready filings, predictable timelines, and responsive communication across time zones.
