FRKelly is one of the top two firms for trade mark registration and portfolio management work in Ireland. The firm has a sizeable trade mark team featuring experienced practitioners such as Niamh Hall, Shane Smyth, Gavan Ferguson and Mary Bleahene. All three are dual qualified as solicitors and European trade mark attorneys. "They're very strong in trade mark. If I'm looking for someone to recommend then it would be them," says a rival. Hall and Smyth are co-authors of the textbook 'Intellectual Property Law in Ireland' (4th edition, November 2016).
