Com Laude was founded on the expertise of Nick Wood and Lorna Gradden, who have worked in domain name management for a combined total of over 30 years.

Nick and Lorna lead a team of experts who create tailored approaches to domain name management for clients large and small. Clients also benefit from a relationship with Nick and Lorna: they need only to pick up the phone and call.

Our experts share with our clients the goal of a secure domain name system for trademarks and brands.

The objective of a Com Laude client manager is not to sell commodified services, but simply to handle a client’s domain name portfolio. This means that our business grows by word of mouth: we are chosen by 26 of the Fortune 500 and 15 of the top 20 UK law firms. Com Laude also works within the ICANN community to improve domain name policy with the protection of trademarks in mind. Nick helped to design trademark protection mechanisms for the new gTLD expansion and continues to lead thought in this area.

But trademarks and brands must not only be protected online.

They should be allowed to flourish. The combination of innovative digital brand managers and new technologies is creating marketing opportunities never before imagined. As a company born of the internet, we share our clients’ enthusiasm for this fast-changing world. We help them to utilise their brands and trademarks to maximum effect.

Com Laude is an independent company, leaving us free to work with only the best partners from other sectors of the domain name industry.
