Farah Namazie

Farah Namazie is the founder of Namazie & Co., a Singapore firm specialising in intellectual property and technology law. Since its establishment in 2001, the firm has advised clients on protecting and managing the brands, inventions, designs and creative works that increasingly define commercial value. Its expertise is recognised with the title of Intellectual Property Law Expert of the Year in Singapore at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026.

A Singapore IP and technology boutique

Founded in 2001, Namazie & Co. has built its reputation as a specialist intellectual property and technology practice in Singapore. The firm describes its approach as combining deep legal expertise with hands-on industry experience to deliver commercially practical solutions, cost-efficiently, and it prides itself on providing premium advice and innovative solutions tailored to its clients' needs. That emphasis on commercial practicality is important in intellectual property, where clients are not simply seeking registrations but strategies — protection that supports how a business actually operates, competes and grows. As founder, Farah Namazie has shaped a practice that treats IP as a business asset to be managed, not merely a set of legal formalities.

Comprehensive protection across IP rights

Namazie & Co. offers a full range of intellectual property services spanning the principal categories of rights. Its work includes:

• Brand protection, from brand selection and development to guidance on global expansion
• Trademark protection, including selection, registration, enforcement and portfolio management across multiple jurisdictions
• Patent and design protection, including due diligence, filing strategies and IP asset optimisation
• Design rights, securing competitive advantage through the protection of aesthetic designs
• Copyright protection for literary, artistic, digital, musical, broadcast and performance works

The firm's attention to portfolio management across multiple jurisdictions and to global expansion reflects the reality facing many of its clients. Brands and inventions rarely stop at national borders, and a business scaling internationally needs its IP protected consistently across the markets it enters. Similarly, the firm's inclusion of due diligence and IP asset optimisation shows an understanding that intellectual property is often at the centre of transactions and investment decisions, where the strength and coverage of a portfolio must be carefully assessed. This lifecycle approach — selecting, registering, enforcing and strategically managing rights — allows clients to treat their IP as a coordinated asset base rather than a collection of isolated filings.

Advising from a leading Asian IP centre

Singapore has established itself as one of Asia's premier hubs for intellectual property, valued for its strong legal framework and its role as a base for regional and international business. A specialist firm operating from Singapore is well placed to help clients protect their rights both locally and across the wider region, and to serve international businesses using Singapore as a gateway to Asian markets. Namazie & Co.'s combination of legal expertise and industry experience is particularly suited to technology-driven and brand-led companies, for whom intellectual property is frequently their most valuable asset.

For businesses expanding across Asia and beyond, protecting brands and inventions consistently from one market to the next is a strategic necessity rather than an afterthought. Namazie & Co.'s emphasis on multi-jurisdictional portfolio management, commercial practicality and cost-efficiency is well matched to that need, enabling clients to treat their intellectual property as a coordinated global asset rather than a scattered collection of individual filings.

By concentrating on intellectual property and technology, Farah Namazie and Namazie & Co. offer clients a focused alternative to larger, more generalist firms — one built around specialist knowledge and a commercially minded, cost-conscious approach. For businesses seeking to select, register, enforce and manage trademarks, patents, designs and copyright in Singapore and beyond, the firm provides tailored, practical counsel. Its recognition as Intellectual Property Law Expert of the Year in Singapore at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 affirms Farah Namazie's standing in the field.
