This is the site for the specialist business affairs and legal consultancy, Creative Law & Business (CL&B). We take care of the commercial and legal side of the entertainment and media industry.
We represent a diverse group of creative talent and creative businesses working across all media. We are devoted to providing them with the specialist support that they need to protect their intellectual property and make money from it.
The government firmly believes that it will be the creative industries that will bring us out of the recession and is committed to ensuring their continued growth.
We feel likewise. There is an abundance of creative talent and talented entrepreneurs in the UK (particularly in Brighton where we are based). However, until now, it has been very difficult for them to obtain effective professional advice from experienced, commercially minded lawyers, dedicated to supporting creativity.
That’s why we formed CL&B - to serve creative businesses and only creative businesses.
Our goal is to provide advice that will help our clients make sense of the complex legal, business and cultural developments that are occurring as a result of digital technology and the change in consumers’ attitudes to the way in which creative output is consumed and paid for.
CL&B was set up by highly regarded lawyer Dean Marsh who, for 12 years, practised as Dean Marsh & Co. Solicitors. Our consultants are pleased to continue to provide expert advice and services to the clients of Dean Marsh & Co, and welcome new ones.
