Digital music matters are handled by Raffaella De Santis, who advises on digital rights and licensing, as well as recording, publishing, management and touring agreements. Rupert Sprawson centres his practice on music publishing, recorded music and digital distribution, while Suzi Sendama is the go-to for contentious and non-contentious matters related to IP, reputation management and commercial contracts.
