Phil Sherrell

I head Bird & Bird's international Media, Entertainment & Sport sector and focus on litigating disputes relating to content and brands.

My team offers the full range of contentious IP and media law advice, handling complex trade mark and copyright infringement litigation, disputes relating to the dissemination of information (confidential, private, defamatory etc) as well as complaints to UK media regulators including the ASA, IPSO and Ofcom.

I sit on the Copyright and Technology Working Group of the British Copyright Council and am the editor of the International Comparative Legal Guide to Copyright. I appear regularly in the media discussing all aspects of media and IP law and led the team which created our Digital Marketing App and our content platform, MediaWrites.
