Intellectual Property
In the world of content protecting your intellectual property is key. Focussing on copyright, we help you understand what rights you have and how best to monetise them. What rights are you granting, to who, where and for how long? We are experienced in advising on copyright ownership and licensing arrangements.

Whether it’s sponsoring a live tour or event, placing an advertisement or featuring talent to promote a brand, we draft and negotiate the agreements to ensure that you get what you’re paying for.
Digital & Other Media

We understand the different platforms and can help you protect the content you own or create, whether that’s user generated content, gaming or a virtual reality experience.
