Charles Law represents media clients in
licensing and exploiting rights. He also undertakes event work,
much of it international, and advises companies and celebrities on
endorsements and branding.
He has been prominent in the music industry for over 25
years. After some years in-house at EMI Records Limited,
working both in the UK and internationally, he entered private
practice since when he has advised rights owners and talent
on all spheres of the music industry - both as to deals and
disputes. His endorsement work ranges from single events to
longer term sporting relationships and tie-ups between celebrities
and major brands.
Over the last 5 years he has extended his practice into the use of
intellectual property in technological areas and software
licensing, IT and all related activities. He also conducts
franchise deals for many enterprises. Recent examples include
a restaurant chain and a vehicle rental company.
