Harbottle & Lewis LLP

Intellectual Property

Andrew is a partner with over 20 years’ experience in all areas of intellectual property, including copyright, trade mark and design right disputes and strategic IP advice, as well as regularly handling advertising, music, media and content related matters.

Whilst Andrew has extensive experience in the High Court, Court of Appeal and IPEC, as a trusted advisor to his clients he is often co-ordinating their needs and facilitating wider work. To that end, he often advises on matters with a ‘brand’ focus, such as sponsorship, advertising and merchandising agreements and reputation management issues. Andrew also has extensive experience of advising on and clearing TV and film content for global projects.

As well as acting for household name brands across key sectors, such as FMCG, retail, fashion and technology, Andrew has worked with high profile talent in media and entertainment for many years, including major artists in the music industry.

Prior to joining Harbottle & Lewis in 2021 Andrew was Head of the IP and Media team at Eversheds Sutherland, having been a partner for more than 10 years.
