The firm’s lawyers have been at the forefront of technological developments in media since the early 90’s. As well as working as solicitors, we have practical business experience in the fields of broadcasting, advertising, IT and journalism. We are able to combine this practical background with our knowledge of the law to advise a wide range of clients.

Our diverse experience includes:

  • Handling cybersquatting claims for brand owners, including nominet domain name disputes;
  • Representing advertising agencies in preparing the first CAP Codes dealing with online advertising;
  • handling the UK’s first internet libel case (Godfrey v Carleton and others, 1994);
  • acting for the claimant in one of the largest payments for an email libel (EGS v Transco, 1997);
  • advising music companies on peer to peer downloading;
  • preparing terms and conditions for online retailers.
