What the Team is Known For
8 New Square is a well-established set that houses "a great selection of junior and senior barristers" who are active in the media law field. The set is especially renowned for its strength in IP disputes, such as copyright, trade mark and design right claims. Members act for an enviable roster of clients in the media and entertainment sector, which encompasses film producers, record companies, social media platforms, broadcasters, gaming publishers, collecting societies, musicians and artists. The set's members have recently acted in Sheeran & Ors v Chokri & Ors, a well-publicised copyright infringement dispute concerning Ed Sheeran's hit song 'Shape of You'.
