Laura Harper Partner

I advise the creative industries and innovation businesses on commercial agreements and IP strategy. I have a wealth of experience in complex copyright, trade mark, design & patent issues notably across the games, communications, fashion, and TV sectors.

I originally started my career in publishing in London before qualifying as a lawyer in Manchester in 2001 and have been recognised as one of the pioneers of specialist legal advice to the creative industries in the city. 

Outside work I'm a patron of the Manchester International Festival & enjoy theatre, art & music, city life, country walks and spending time with family & friends.
