Overview
We help our clients to navigate the regulatory landscape by providing pragmatic and sensible advice.
We assist our clients with a broad range of issues across the regulated media sectors, including compliance with the applicable regulatory codes, licensing and notification requirements and dealing with regulatory interventions.
In the audio-visual sector, we advise our producer and broadcaster clients on how best to ensure compliance with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code (and/or, where applicable, the BBC Editorial Guidelines and ODPS Rules) and avoid regulatory action being taken.

They provide carefully considered support and guidance, adding value at every stage of the process. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Highly experienced operators with the ability to think outside the box.
High standards, good division of practices. In addition to the firm’s specialities, it acts as a “one-stop shop” where sensible so that the client can simply pick up the phone and get things done.
