International legal expertise
Article Abstract:
Law firms in Leeds, England, have provided advice for clients investing in foreign companies and raising funds abroad. Lawyers are needed to ensure that deal comply with UK Stock exchange and other regulations and to explain the legal position in the other country. Documentation tends to be shorter in many other countries and UK lawyers can help explain UK law to the local lawyer abroad. Leeds tends to predominate in this field compared with neighbouring Bradford, but Bradford's Gordons Wright and Wright also carries out this type of work.

Counting the intangibles
Article Abstract:
Law firms from Leeds and Bradford, England, pay attention to intellectual property in their work on corporate acquisitions. They need to examine the designs, patents and trade mark registers, the global context, licenses, copyrights and know-how. Law firms can also help in making research products profitable, and science graduates have been helping law firms in these two cities in tackling this task. This activity is a continuation of work in the textile industry which has also involved intellectual property.
