Overview

Like many of our media and publishing clients, we have an outstanding reputation. We are recognised by both clients and fellow professionals for our specialist expertise and our genuine sector focus.

We don’t just advise on intellectual property and media law. Although this forms the core of our work, we recognise that clients in this sector need the same high level of expertise across all disciplines, encompassing corporate finance, commercial, real estate, disputes and employment.

There is room for creativity in law. Our clients get the most out of their intellectual property when we combine legal excellence with proactive measures and creative contracts. We work with them through the whole exploitation process, from the development of an idea, through to its realisation and secondary use, such as merchandising.

We can advise on:

• Copyright, design right, trade marks and other intellectual property transactions and disputes
• Contracts relating to every aspect of the publishing process
• Contractual disputes involving publishers and media organisations
• IT and digital media rights
• Corporate finance
• Funding and structuring of media transactions and businesses
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Competition law and tax
• Employment law
• Property and real estate
