Intellectual property: trade marks, copyright and design

With key clients in the fashion, charities, arts, museums and culture, media and entertainment, sports, music, and publishing sectors, Farrer & Co’s team is co-led by Owen O’Rorke, who leverages a background in the arts to advise creative and media industry clients on strategic matters. Fellow co-head Ian De Freitas leads on contentious work, handling digital and tech copyright, advertising, and branding disputes across various sectors. David Copping is a key name for strategic projects, asset exploitation, spin-outs, and R&D projects, and Jeremy Isaacson mostly works with higher education institutions and private companies. William Charrington is also highly recommended. Peter Wienand retired.
