Remfry & Sagar is the oldest IP firm in the country - established in 1827 by Mr. Henry Oliver Remfry, an immigrant from Cornwall, England, under the name "Remfry & Son." Intellectual property remained the mainstay of the firm until 1973 when it diversified into the field of corporate law. Effective January 1, 1990 the practice of Sagar & Company, Barristers and Solicitors, was incorporated into the practice of "Remfry & Son," whereupon the name of the firm was changed to "Remfry & Sagar," Attorneys-at-Law.
