Praised by clients as being a ‘joy to work with’, RPC’s arsenal of skills are comprised of digital content, commercial agreements in the sport sector, and trade mark portfolio management, to name a few. David Cran, who fields a wide-ranging practice that extends across the technology, retail, and media sectors among others, and Jeremy Drew, who is adept at handling multi-jurisdictional arbitration, co-lead the group. Ciara Cullen is well-versed in issues arising from the food and drink sector and is especially knowledgeable in the safeguarding of consumer brand portfolios. Trade mark and passing off expert Ben Mark and contentious expert Sarah Mountain are also recommended.
