TLS launched in 2006 with a vision of becoming a successful boutique licensing agency. We wanted our clients to know that when they hired “us”, they would be working with “us” and not passed onto a junior client manager. We have personal experience hiring and working with many agents all over the world, so we genuinely understood what we wanted TLS to be when we switched seats and became the agent and not the client. TLS offers a broad range of services from full-on licensing representation to one-off project work such as creating licensing business plans and feasibility studies. We would love to hear from you!
