Mishcon de Reya LLP

Mishcon de Reya LLP has been notably expanding on its strength in advising gaming clients on IP matters to the wider interactive entertainment space, assisting with regulatory and commercial issues. The team also advises on M&A, tax and structuring, employment, and compliance issues. Consumer and online safety law, advertising and in-app monetisation, and potential IP infringement applications through the use of AI also form key areas of activity for the group. The practice was bolstered by the arrival of Nick Allan from Lewis Silkin in November 2024; Allan leads the team alongside Nick Nocton, who ‘is a subject matter expert for video games’ and a go-to lawyer for gaming clients. Harry Clark assists with commercial, regulatory, licensing, and compliance work for the clients in the video games sector.
