Position
Will is a media and crypto assets solicitor who specialises in the protection of intellectual property and reputational rights for a range of clients, including public figures, artists, luxury brands and technology companies – in size from start-ups to multi-nationals.
In the media sector, Will has acted for clients in complex and high-profile defamation and privacy protection claims, as well as commercial brand protection actions.
In the digital assets sector, he has acted for cryptocurrencies at the pre- and post-Initial Coin Offering stages, and his practice now focusses on advising complex and innovative NFT projects, both before their initial token drop, and after, on additional associated projects.
