We began advising clients in advertising and marketing in the days before colour TV was invented and when 'digital' was just something to do with your fingers. Small wonder, we know the industry inside out.
We've obviously moved with the times a bit since we first started working in this sector. Working closely with our advertising, digital and marketing clients over the years we've continually expanded our comprehensive understanding of the key issues for this industry.
When our clients come to us for advice, they don't have to waste time explaining the implications of winning or losing an an account and there's no need to tell us the difference between a copywriter and an art director. We can get straight to the point.
You won't find us taking the procedural hard line either; we pride ourselves on giving our clients prompt, realistic and practical advice. Our clients range from global agency groups to individual employees via independent agencies and everything in between.
The length and breadth of our experience means that we are ready and willing to advise you on industry-specific issues such as enforcing post-termination restrictions, protecting key client relationships and dealing with the ramifications of winning or losing a pitch ... as well as all the usual people issues that come up every day.
We area able to advise you on industry specific issues such as:
- Enforcing post termination restrictions
- Protecting key client relationships
- Restrictive covenants and confidentiality in order to protect the value of client relationships
- Drafting contract (and particularly bonus provisions and other incentives) to help attract and retain key players
- The user of freelance resource versus permanent/temporary employees
- The need to ensure flexibility in staffing to respond to client needs
- Dealing with and managing grievances and avoiding costly litigation.
