The combination of Reed Smith and Richards Butler in 2007 gave the firm international strength in depth across the globally converging advertising, technology and media sectors. To the firm’s premier U.S. advertising and marketing law group has been added a UK market-leading film, television and digital media team, and a growing UK advertising practice. When combined with the firm’s experience in the media and technology sectors in both the United States and Europe, plus the firm’s established presence in the Middle East and China/Hong Kong, the combination gives us a near-unique ability to service the needs of clients operating across these market sectors. The merger with Sachnoff & Weaver in Chicago added further to those capabilities, particularly on the technology side.
The firm’s clients include many of the largest and most respected advertising, technology, film, television and digital media companies, but we are equally at home advising start-up entities and individuals, who so often lead the way in these industries through their independence, creativity and powers of innovation. The firm is also counsel to, or affiliated with, several leading trade associations, and maintains an extensive network of local counsel throughout the world, offering clients the ability to obtain the advice they need, even where the firm does not have offices.
