Image Rights Protection
With the rise of intellectual property awareness, it is our utmost priority to assist our clients in the protection of their image rights. With the rising value of the image rights industry and new cases springing up in recent times against infringers who exploit the property of individuals or entities for economic benefits, image rights protection has become pertinent.
Our firm helps clients protect their rights from the use of their still, moving, and animated images, to trademarks, catchphrases, and iconic acts associated with the individual or entity. The infringement of these rights leads to the offence of ‘passing off’; when an individual or entity endorses such a product or service by attributing it to their personae. To better manage our client’s interest, we find ways to officially govern the use of the client’s goodwill on the public.
Dispute Resolution
Our Dispute Resolution team comprises highly skilled lawyers with vast knowledge in specialized fields such as Maritime, Aviation Law, Corporate Law, Criminal Law, Banking and Finance, Environmental Law, Family Law, Insurance, Taxation, Securities Law, etc. Our Team provides legal representation in Litigation, Arbitration, and Mediation matters.
The Firm’s principal objective is to resolve disputes for clients as promptly as possible by employing strategic measures to preserve the client’s business objectives while assessing the client’s legal, reputational and commercial risk, and liabilities.
Due Diligence & KYC
Before entering into a business transaction, parties must learn more about each other to avoid unnecessary risks and ensure fair terms. This investigative process is known as due diligence.
The purpose is to avoid any surprises or hidden liabilities in the future. By investigating the business’s assets, agreements, books, and records, the buyer can better assess the risks and liabilities associated with the transaction, and mitigate potential problems. It also helps the buyer understand the business’s reputation, industry and market position. Where risks are uncovered, the goal is to determine how to exclude or minimize them in the agreement or, if they are dealbreakers, end discussions before the money is paid.
Being a major requirement of most public and private institutions, it is of utmost priority for them to know their customers and potential customers before agreeing to contract or enter a business with them. Different regulatory bodies have been established to regulate the relationship between these institutions and their clients. Due to the nature of their business, there is a high liability and possibility for fraudulent activities. With the use of diverse technology software and platforms like the Customer Identification Program and the Customer Due Diligence, we will verify the identity of all customers, both individual and corporate scrutinizing all to ensure they are legal persons and their means of identification is authentic.
