ROSEMARY GALLAGHER

Edinburgh intellectual property practice Marks & Clerk is moving to larger premises in the regenerated Haymarket area of the capital as it eyes further expansion.

The firm said that amid sustained strong performance it is moving to a modern office space at 40 Torphichen Street.

Managing partner in Marks & Clerk’s Edinburgh office, Paul Chapman, said the relocation from Canning Street reflects “the excellent work being carried out by our staff in the capital” and is a sign of its significant growth ambitions.

Marks & Clerk filed the highest number of patent cooperation treaty applications between January 2014 and December 2016 according to recent World Intellectual Property Organisation data.
