I founded SampsonLegal to offer clients clear, commercial, practical and expert advice and solutions at an affordable cost – often for an agreed fee.
I can help with a wide range of commercial matters, and my specialisms include copyright, trademarks, technology and data protection.
I have 30 years’ experience as a solicitor, including 15 as a partner at two leading law firms. I have an engineering degree and an intellectual property qualification from the University of Bristol. The legal directories Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners ranked me as a “leading individual” and a “notable practitioner”.
