The Firm

We are a specialist firm of solicitors with a sole emphasis on soft Intellectual Property and Media law. We address our clients’ legal challenges from the ‘real-world’ perspective to deliver practical, cost-effective, and business-focussed solutions.

As a niche practice, we are able to combine true professional expertise with a personal client care service. Unlike other firms we do not claim to offer a full range of legal services, but strive to be the best at what we specialise in. Our experience in delivering groundbreaking work has enabled us to establish successful long-term client relationships across diverse industries.

We undertake both contentious and non-contentious work across the range of soft IP rights and consumer-driven Media – from Internet, TV and entertainment, to fashion, sport, gaming, and branding – and have a particular understanding of existing and emerging digital media.

The challenge fundamentally involves understanding where the eyes, ears and spending power of the consumer go. We advise on the legal issues that emerge from this.
