About Us
A Law Firm Built on One Conviction:
Your IP Deserves the Best Protection the Law Allows.
Untamed Legal Advisory is Tanzania’s specialist intellectual property practice — advising individuals, startups, SMEs and multinational corporations across the full IP lifecycle.
Our Practice
Specialist Counsel for the Knowledge Economy
Untamed Legal Advisory was founded on the principle that intellectual property law in Tanzania is a specialist discipline — and that clients deserve counsel who are fully invested in that specialism. Too often, IP work is treated as an ancillary service within general practice firms. We believe it demands a dedicated focus.
Our practice spans the full IP lifecycle: from clearance searches and registration before BRELA, COSOTA, ZIPO and ARIPO, through portfolio management, licensing and commercialisation, to enforcement actions before the courts and regulatory bodies of Tanzania and beyond.
We advise clients across sectors — consumer goods, technology, agribusiness, media, manufacturing, and professional services — from sole traders protecting a local brand to global corporations managing pan-African portfolios.
Our Values
Grounded in the Law
Every piece of advice cites the actual statute. We do not generalise.
Commercially Focused
We align our advice with your business goals, not just legal compliance.
International Reach
We operate within ARIPO, WIPO, WTO and bilateral treaty frameworks.
Current
We monitor BRELA journals, court decisions, and regulatory updates continuously.
