what they say about us…
No business like showbiz
We have an entertainment and creative business, working with musicians, artists, record labels, filmmakers. Also film financiers, production companies etc and we have the technical knowledge of the industry but clearly not the legal acumen. Thankfully we were introduced to Purpose. Highly recommended!
IP problem solved!
When we launched our business, which is based around one main product, we had no idea how register and protect our trade mark and IP. The team at Purpose guided us through all of that and we now feel reassured that anyone attempting to steal our design applications will have to face the wrath of Tessa and co!
Excellent service
Purpose Law helped us with what was a highly complex due diligence issue regarding our land purchase, and with the development contracts, s106 and lease arrangements. It left us free to concentrate on the design and build. Huge thanks to all concerned.
