When creative businesses, technology companies and financial services organisations face complex legal challenges, they need a Law Firm that understands the commercial realities of their industries as much as the law itself. Lee & Thompson LLP has been that firm since 1983, operating as a recognised brand protection law firm in England & Wales with a practice that spans intellectual property, corporate, commercial, dispute resolution, employment, immigration and data privacy work across more than a dozen specialist sectors.

The firm's breadth is matched by genuine depth. From film and television production to music, publishing, fashion, sport, videogames, live events and theatre, Lee & Thompson advises clients whose businesses are built on creative output, reputation and rights. That range means the firm regularly advises on matters where several disciplines intersect: a videogames studio sponsoring international talent, for example, requires both immigration and employment expertise; a fashion brand entering a technology partnership needs commercial and intellectual property advice working in concert. The firm's published guidance on both subjects reflects that integrated approach.

Litigation is a significant part of the practice. The firm recently defended Catriona Gourlay against a court claim brought by Mitchell Winehouse, securing not only a successful defence but subsequently obtaining an indemnity costs order against the claimant. That outcome illustrates what a commercial litigation solicitor with sector-specific knowledge can achieve when litigation strategy is informed by a thorough understanding of the client's industry context.

For start-up businesses, the firm operates what it calls its Catalyst offering, providing legal support structured around the particular pressures and pace of early-stage companies. Whether the need is for corporate structuring, brand protection, or navigating the employment and immigration frameworks that govern a growing workforce, the firm brings the same disciplined approach it applies to its larger clients. Businesses requiring a data protection solicitor or an immigration solicitor with experience in creative and technology sectors will find the firm's practice covers those needs within a single, cohesive team.

Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under registration number 555406, Lee & Thompson LLP operates across England & Wales and has been advising clients in the creative, technology and financial services sectors for over four decades. Funding arrangements include damages-based agreements and legal expenses insurance cover, depending on the nature of the matter.

If you have a legal matter you would like to discuss, the firm welcomes an initial conversation about how it may be able to assist.
