Sectors

Moore Law draws upon its legal expertise and experience in commercial, Intellectual property and employment to advise clients in a variety of different sectors. These specialisms have evolved from the Founder’s early career experience in-house at a global technology company as well as repeat business over many years from leading companies, organisations and individuals within certain sectors such as life sciences, technology & new media and sport. As we have grown, we have made it our absolute priority to bring in partners that can add to this in a meaningful and impactful way. We are proud to say that we are composed of some of the UK’s leading solicitors who are at the absolute cutting-edge of their respective fields.

Our sector experience does not preclude us from advising clients in other areas on commercial contract and Intellectual property matters (and we frequently do and are well equipped to do so) but we are candid in our pledge to only give our clients the best possible service available, and such will not advise on sector specific legal and regulatory matters where we do not have the requisite experience to deliver our typical standard of industry leading service.

Independent Networks

We are well connected to an independent network of professionals both in the UK, Europe and the US many of whom have experience in those areas of law and sectors that we do not advise upon and we are therefore able to work alongside and make introductions where appropriate.

We always make time to get to know our clients' businesses but our specialist experience means that we can hit the ground running when advising in our niche sectors and this can give our clients the edge. We are particularly strong in sport, life sciences & innovation and technology and new media and our experience is endorsed by both our clients, and proudly by the Legal 500.
