Increasingly, brands recognize the value of being associated with complementary brands – whether commercial businesses or charitable causes. We help clients across a wide variety of sectors to develop such links, via sponsorship, brand collaboration or celebrity endorsement. It is vital we understand the objectives of both parties, and the restrictions within which each must work, to assist each side in getting ‘value for money’ and making good use of its brand association with the other. Occasionally these relationships break down, but we are experienced in how best to manage or prevent any resulting negative publicity. We have a longstanding involvement with Formula One racing and have advised on numerous high-value sponsorship agreements with the large corporate names that want to appeal to the 350 million viewers of each Grand Prix race.

The firm has a large team of charity lawyers and so another natural focus is on charity sponsorship. The long-established connection between luxury brands and worthy causes is becoming increasingly important, and we have extensive experience helping to develop relationships between leading brands and charities, ranging from sponsorship through to commercial alliances. We act for a wide cross-section of mainly UK and US-based clients, including luxury and consumer brands, sports teams (particularly Formula One), charities and art foundations.
