architects

We recognise that architects stand apart from other professionals in having distinct legal needs:

• since a great deal of architects’ wealth is tied to the drawings and design they create, it is especially important to achieve full protection of intellectual property rights - both in their terms of engagement with their clients and with others involved in design contracts
• their profession’s fee structure means that they may face difficulties in receiving payment from their clients or facing the risk of contractual entanglements

CCW’s Commercial Contracts and Technology & Creativity Teams offer a quality legal service that aims to address both these and other points.

More generally, we are also able to assist with the full range of legal advice required by professionals, both on ongoing business matters and in managing any changes or tensions within practices.
