Advertising & Marketing

Advertising & Marketing

The advertising and marketing sectors have unique and specific legal requirements. We focus on these using our in-depth knowledge of these sectors as well as our legal know-how and experience in rights, brands, reputation, celebrity and overall commerciality.

Our clients in these sectors include brand owners, advertising agencies, media and technology companies, celebrities, sports personalities and entertainers. When advising clients we are careful to consider the impact and effect of our advice not just on our clients but on their clients also.

Our services include obtaining media rights clearance, brand management and brand architecture, trademark advice and protection, sophisticated campaign advice and both legal and commercial advice in relation to advertising sales contracts. We have packaged and performed a number of reorganisations, buy-outs and share acquisitions in these sectors, including matters in relation to employment, benefits and expectations, all of which requires sensitive treatment.

For clients in these sectors we also provide a specialised disputes & regulatory advice service; commercial reality often dictates that we steer our clients away from disputes, however we rigourously defend our clients interests through the Courts wherever it is  necessary and proportionate to do so.
