Allan McGregor, the Hull City FC and Scottish international goalkeeper, has become the first Premier League player to make an application for the registration of their image rights.

Guernsey's membership of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works has been announced by the World Intellectual Property Organisation.

Megan Williams has become the first model to apply to register her image rights in Guernsey.

The Island of Guernsey remains the only jurisdiction in the world to offer its own image rights legislation and register.

Think trade marks offer full protection? Think again. David Evans, director of Collas Crill IP in Guernsey, discusses why Guernsey's new image rights legislation helps well-known clients' succession planning

"There is today in England no such thing as a free-standing general right by a famous person (or anyone else) to control the reproduction of their image." So said Mr. Justice Birss.

Collas Crill is the headline sponsor of Art for Guernsey's eagerly awaited exhibition, A Renaissance of Victor Hugo - the first fully fledged exhibition to be hosted in the new Mansell Street gallery.

Guernsey is firmly established as a prime financial service centre setting the benchmark for industry regulation and supported by a highly regarded legal system.
