Services
We advise on commercial agreements and arrangements of all kinds. We can help both with the drafting of new contracts and the review and audit of existing contractual arrangements. We have particular expertise in the intellectual property aspects of contracting and can also advise on potential pitfalls such as the impact of competition law and the Commercial Agents Regulations.
Breach of confidence cases involve the disclosure or misuse of information which is confidential by nature and which has been, or is threatened to be, disclosed without permission. The confidential information can relate to an individual, but cases of this kind frequently concern business secrets or other commercially sensitive information which has fallen into the wrong hands.
We frequently advise clients in the cultural sector (museums, archives, libraries, galleries, artists, collectors and dealers) on the acquisition, exhibition and sale of various forms of cultural property, including manuscripts, photographs, art and artefacts, archaeological finds and religious objects.
We are experienced in advising clients in the heritage sector on the issues arising when opening properties to the public, providing a venue for ceremonies and other events, offering location services for film and TV production and catering and other services.
We can also assist with specialist brand development and licensing advice to enable a client to generate revenue from what are often unique assets, and so be able to preserve and protect them.
