We provide a highly specialised disputes & regulatory advice service for Mediascape clients including brand owners, advertising agencies, media and technology companies, retailers, celebrities, entertainers and sportsmen and women.

Our legal expertise combined with our in-depth knowledge of these industry sectors and the regulators who control them makes our offering second to none. We take a commercial and realistic approach to disputes, helping our clients avoid them where possible, but vigorously defending their interests where necessary to help them achieve their commercial aims.

We have extensive experience at all levels of litigation and dispute resolution, - including arbitration and mediation, - in intellectual property, technology, defamation, confidence, privacy, data protection and contractual matters. We also have particular expertise in anti-counterfeiting, parallel importation, product liability and IP/competition issues.

Our regulatory work includes advising clients in complying with their regulatory obligations as well as making and defending complaints to the myraid of regulators who exercise an increasing control over so many aspects of business life - such as the Advertising Standards Authority, Ofcom, ICSTIS, Press Complaints Commission, Information Commissioner's Office, Financial Services Authority, Food Standards Agency, Office of Fair Trading, Trading Standards and sports regulators.

We also have experience of challenging the decisions of regulators using their internal review/appeal mechanisms as well as through the courts through judicial review, human rights, competition and EU law claims. We offer excellent value for money, and are always willing to consider alternative ways of funding actions including monthly retainer fees and conditional fee arrangements.
