Lewis Silkin has won commendations from peers and clients for its focus on dispute matters related to labour and employment, as well as intellectual property. Its Hong Kong office supports multinationals and offers support on a range of IP and commercial IP issues in both Hong Kong and across the Asia-Pacific region. A key name to note at the firm’s Hong Kong office is Jezamine Fewins, who is an experienced employment and IP litigator.
In an ongoing IP matter, the firm is representing public relations agency Purple Public Relations in respect of trademark infringement and a passing off claim which has been committed by Filtr Qingwa, which is operated by We Purple Group (formerly known as Qingwa Group). The issue arose when Filtr Qingwa decided to undergo a rebranding exercise and adopted the name 'Purple' for their public relations company. This name directly conflicts with the client's brand and seems to be a deliberate attempt to exploit the client's established goodwill and reputation in the global market.
Notable IP clients include Asia Standard, Double Lion Global, Netbit Asia and Venchi.
