Legal Services

The problems faced by our clients with traditional firms often come from their external nature.

Clients may feel that the advice is not tailored to their business or that the services do not align with their structure or vision. On the other hand, in-house teams are under increased pressure and may not have the specialised legal knowledge or skill to deal with complex tasks.

Safenames has created an in-house legal department which sits in the middle of these two models. Our legal department is designed to be an extension of your firm/company but without the annual salary or high street law firm prices. Our legal experts specialise in Domain Name Dispute Resolution and Brand Enforcement.

When a company has hundreds or thousands of domain names it can become difficult to manage. Let us take that problem away from you. Safenames has been an ICANN accredited registrar for almost 20 years, specialising in corporate domain name portfolio management. We can automatically renew your domains, manage your DNS and monitor for any infringements against your brand online.
