Areas of work
Public Access
Some members of 5RB are licensed to undertake public access work in media, entertainment and sports law, accepting instructions in appropriate circumstances from individuals and organisations (or their agents), without a solicitor, to do "barrister" work. This means that they can give legal advice on specific issues or disputes, act in negotiations, draft documents (including correspondence) and represent them in court. In the majority of cases where court proceedings have already started, or the work involves going to court, the services of a solicitor will be necessary, but members of 5RB will advise as appropriate.
Members of 5RB who do this work are used to dealing with organisations including broadcasters; newspapers, magazines, books and music publishers of all sizes; media and sports regulatory bodies; and local authorities. We also regularly deal with public relations, media and sports agents directly.
