MEDIA INSIGHT AND EXPERTISE

We advise a wide variety of media businesses, from start-ups to international plcs. Whatever your size and specialism, we can help you address the technological and commercial challenges you face. We will get to know your business and its ambitions, before tailoring our service to meet your needs.

Our specialist lawyers are based in London and Bristol, both global centres of excellence in the creative industries, and have a deep understanding of the media and emerging disruptive technologies. Our team is led by the South West’s two leading specialist practitioners in the sector, and many of our lawyers have worked within media and entertainment industries. This means we talk your language and can bring a valuable perspective to your business, with commercial advice that goes beyond the technicalities of the law.
