Top-tier patent litigation boutique law firm, London
Legal Partner
NIBRT came highly recommended from a contact in New York and we were not disappointed: Patrick Jennings and his team did a fantastic job for us on a very short turnaround.
Within a couple of weeks they had optimised several testing processes for measuring the purity of an antibody for the purposes of litigation and provided helpful results that were strategically important to the case.
No amount of effort was too much and Patrick and Caitriona provided daily updates, slide decks and telephone calls to keep the team apprised as to progress, Patrick even going so far as taking delivery of an HPLC column at his home address on a Saturday so that a valuable day’s testing could be saved.
We would recommend them universally and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with them.
Ten out of ten for service, quality and professionalism.
