The Beckhams
A number of departments across the Firm have been instructed by the Beckhams. We have represented Victoria Beckham regarding the false use of her name to promote beauty products and we were also instructed by Victoria Beckham Limited to negotiate the lease for her new head offices.
Wolford London
We have acted for Wolford for many years, regularly advising the company in relation to day-to-day employment law issues arising in the workplace, including dealing with all employment contracts, policies and procedures. We have also advised Wolford, from a UK compliance perspective, in relation to its e-commerce website documentation including its e-commerce sale terms, data protection policy and disclaimers.
