Media, brands and technology

I advise businesses who are either developers of technology or users of technology or both! My clients are principally drawn from the technology, media and marketing industries who I advise on a wide range of IT, intellectual property and commercial matters. Advising on legal and commercial issues relating to digital content and digital distribution forms a large part of my typical day.


Some specifics


Much of my work involves advising clients on the development, acquisition, licensing and/or distribution of all forms of technology and digital content. I also provide advice on the related fields of e-commerce law and data protection. A significant proportion of my work is conducted on behalf of digital advertising agencies.

Media relations and public speaking


I am a regular speaker at specialist industry conferences and I also run training workshops for clients. When time permits I also write articles for both the national press and specialist trade publications.

Recent examples of work


Advising on the development of an eCRM platform for a global logistics company;

Advising on a collaboration between a computer games company and a leading television production company;

Advising on the development, hosting and licensing of computer games, podcasts and other rich media content on behalf of a leading advertising services agency.


Clients


Technology companies, computer games companies, leading marketing services companies and media companies.

Qualifications and other experience


Prior to qualifying as a Solicitor I studied electronic engineering to HNC level. My legal career started at a niche west end music firm after which I moved to a niche technology practice. I am a self confessed gadget freak which ties in nicely with my job.

I'm human too...


When I’m not gadget hunting I love to travel to far flung destinations for scuba diving, sailing and skiing and, when the location permits, to pursue my embryonic interest in wine.
