DMH Stallard LLP

Fully immersed in the entertainment, media, retail and tech sectors, DMH Stallard LLP continues to impress before the High Court and IPEC as well as on the transactional side, handling a complex plethora of patent, trade mark, copyright and design matters. The practice is jointly led by Brighton’s veteran practitioner Tim Ashdown and Gatwick’s John Yates; the former is highly experienced in the management of commercial, IP and tech disputes, and the latter is particularly geared to handle a significant array of IP-heavy projects and contractual matters. Other key names to note in Brighton include Debbie Venn, who handles the full gamut of commercial law matters; and Rebecca Leeves, who excels on the data protection side. Beatrice Bass is also recommended for IP disputes.
