SRA ID: 23837

I focus on helping businesses in the technology and creative sectors to commercialise and document their IP, helping clients achieve commercial solutions to legal issues that arise from developing and using their technology and protecting and licensing their intellectual property rights. I am a n advocate for B Corps and sustainability. I was a partner in both boutique and large City law firms between 2000-2015 and joined Lionshead to focus on working with individuals who are passionate about their work and with owner managed businesses. I regularly contribute legal insight to the trade and legal press, as well as being a LexisNexis case expert.

Working with Joanne Frears is like having your own guardian angel - perhaps not what you'd associate with a lawyer, but she demystifies the contractual world including terms, conditions and small print and is very good at outlining what the core points of them are, and more importantly, how they are (or are not) relevant to my business. Combining this with the fact that she is not afraid to challenge or defend, and is extremely good in both positions means that on the odd occasion I've had a problem, it has been closed down quickly and efficiently. Joanne's support ensured that my business started with a secure legal position for managing client expectations, and has continued to benefit my company when navigating more complex legal issues. The value I get from working with Lionshead Law has paid for itself. It has challenged how I see law firms, in a very positive way. I highly recommend them.
