The ‘responsive and knowledgeable’ team at Herbert Smith Freehills LLP capitalises on its world-wide network of offices to advise on global-scale copyright disputes and a plethora of transactional mandates. Sebastian Moore steers the department, while Andrew Moir is particularly noted for his skills in managing copyright, outsourcing, and licensing issues within the technology sector. Jonathan Turnbull has a strong grounding in transactional mandates, ranging from collaboration and commercialisation agreements to the IP aspects of M&A. Andrew Wells leverages his scientific background to assist with technical and innovative issues in the space, and Heather Newton is regarded for her wealth of experience in the industries of technology, media, energy, and banking. Victoria Horsey, who maintains a multi-faceted IP practice, and brands expert Emma Sherratt, further bolster the team. Peter Dalton re-joined the team from Stephenson Harwood in November 2023.
