Services
Legal advice, desgined for creative types.
How I can help
I advise individuals and organisations on their legal rights and risks, and help find solutions that make sense for them. Because even when it comes to the fine print, the story is personal.
ADVISE Advise
Negotiate
I write contracts, policies, and other legal documents that actually do what they need to. A good contract is both protective and practical — something that makes you feel safe, not small.
Draft
DRAFT NEGOTIATE Negotiations are about more than just the words on the page. I help clients figure out what they actually want, where their red lines are, and how hard to push — without killing the deal.
I often speak at film festivals and industry conferences, and guest lecture at universities. I also regularly appear in the press or on the news to discuss AI-related stories. I also deliver training on the legal and reputational issues surrounding the technology, to include copyright, accountability, and transparency. Whatever the topic, I always try to speak to the audience — not at them, whether they’re studio executives, freelance artists, or entrepreneurs. Read more →

The law can be complex,
but working with a lawyer doesn’t have to be.
Sense Checks & Initial Advice
From £200 + VAT
depending on complexity*
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who can explain the legal jargon, and give you a few suggestions on what to do next. I offer 30-minute consultations for clients looking to make sense of the fine print, protect their rights, or simply understand their options. My specialism is AI, but I advise on all sorts of media and technology law issues, including copyright, terms and conditions, licences, productions, privacy, confidentiality, data protection and more — even when there’s no official paper trail to speak of.
HOW IT WORKS
Contact me and say you’re interested in a short consultation. I’ll message back within a few days to explain next steps. I’ll also need to learn about your situation before I can confirm the fee. *If you’re a performer or freelancer with a limited budget, let me know and we’ll work something out.
From £200 + VAT, depending on complexityMY PHILOSOPHY
I think the law is more than just a collection of rules. I see it as a human framework; something we can use to make sense of relationships and protect what matters most — whether it’s our work, ideas, or identity.
