Speaking
I'm often invited to discuss AI, IP, and other aspects of media law with audiences across the UK, Europe, and the U.S. in settings ranging from radio interviews, film festivals, industry conferences, university lecture halls, and boardrooms. But before we talk about contracts, rights, and regulations, we should try to be upfront about what it is we fear, and what it is we’re trying to protect.
Because every day, internet platforms, social media networks, and AI algorithms are learning more and more about what we value, pay attention to, and desire. And as an independent solicitor, I don’t need to follow a pre-approved script — I just shine a light on what matters, and try to translate the legalese into something a little more human.
“It’s refreshing to listen to a lawyer talk like an actual human I can totally relate to.”
