I am proud to lead our firm with Richard Miskella. Alongside my leadership role, I advise my clients on the drafting and negotiation of commercial agreements, and the exploitation of IP rights and content. My clients include brand owners, content creators, communications agencies and media platforms. I am included as a leading lawyer in the field of advertising and brand reputation in Legal 500, and have been listed as a leading lawyer in Chambers for 20 years (and am now recognised as an Eminent Practitioner ). Social mobility is a topic close to my heart; if you're considering a career in law but think your background might make that difficult, do get in touch.
