Testimonials

Nina has advised Ian Fleming Publications Ltd on trade mark, branding and legal matters relating to literary estates and publishing for well over ten years.   She combines considerable knowledge of our industry with a calm and pragmatic approach, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Corinne Turner

Ian Fleming Publications Limited

Nina is my go-to lawyer for both IP and general legal matters at Global Optimism and never fails to provide brilliantly clear, pragmatic and considered guidance and support to our team. Her nuanced understanding of the not-for-profit and creative sectors is rare and means that there has never been a matter that she hasn’t been able to help us with. I cannot recommend her enough.

Katie Bradford

Global Optimism Limited

Nina has been our go to lawyer for all IP issues whether it’s the simple interpretation of a publishing contract or the warranty clauses in a sale. Always intelligent, sensible and good humoured advice-intensely practical and cost effective. Nina understands the tensions in creative relationships and always finds the way to a satisfactory result. That must be why we on our own account and for our clients have not consulted anyone else in her domains for more than 15 years.

Piers Russell-Cobb

Mediafund Limited

Nina has acted as our go-to lawyer ever since Project Everyone was established. She has always been on hand with clear practical advice on IP law, contracts, and dealing with high profile partners and contributors. When legal issues arise outside of her specific areas of expertise, she has been able to refer us to colleagues to advise on issues with property, US or employment law. She is a trusted and valued member of the wider Project Everyone team.

Piers Bradford

Project Everyone

Nina has been brilliant – she was just the right person for us. We were potentially way out of our comfort zone as a small UK publisher dealing with a major US organisation, but Nina was able to guide us through the process with insight and good humour, bringing a problem-solving approach to negotiations, digging in to the detail and achieving the result we wanted. We very much appreciated her patience and her flexibility in working across the time zones.
