CMS has moved its London-based EU trademarks and design practice to Warsaw, Poland in anticipation of Brexit, the firm has announced.

According to the firm, the move will ensure it can continue to represent its clients before the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) following Brexit.

As part of the move, a number of the firm's London partners are now registered as Polish lawyers and split their time between London and Warsaw. They will join the existing Polish IP practice led by partner Tomasz Koryzma.
