Media & Intellectual Property

We offer expertise in the protection and exploitation of all manner of creative or inventive work.

Intellectual property, defamation, advertising and commercial law are areas in which our lawyers have extensive experience. Our focus is in the print media, IT, music, fashion, advertising and film sectors.

Working for major publishers, film and television producers, record companies and other intellectual property owners, we regularly advise on complex issues including transnational licence arrangements and cross-border disputes.

We operate in an international context, working with clients on the global protection and exploitation of their intellectual property portfolios. We have particular expertise in trade marks, trade practices, copyright, trade secrets and proprietary information.

Looking after global trade mark portfolios is part of our daily work for major media interests. As much of our work involves foreign clients or international transactions, our lawyers ensure they keep up to date on developments around the globe. On the basis of our international expertise, IP Australia has included us in its
list of international IP professionals.

Our Media and Intellectual Property lawyers regularly write on subjects relevant to their specialist practice areas.
