Peter is a gem - got a call within 20mins of submitting my request via the PAIL website, we had a solid 30min chat where he took the time and care to explain all the nuances of the contract I wanted to draw up (a work for hire contract to safeguard my rights as an author over my work when hiring illustrators). Fast, dependable and infinitely patient with the barrage of questions I sent his way, he and his team turned the contract around in three days. Worth every penny.

Our Expertise

At PAIL Solicitors, we were included in the Entrepreneur Handbook’s “90 Top commercial law firms & solicitors in the UK” list (2014 edition). This recognition underlines our long-standing commitment to commercial intellectual property and licensing. Our IP licensing and usage rights practice is one of our strongest areas of specialisation. We act for clients involved in multi-jurisdictional licensing matters, including SaaS contracts, creative content rights, education technology, and global media IP. Our work spans industries from music and publishing to software and voice technologies. We specialise in drafting both licences and assignment agreements, ensuring your IP assets are protected, monetised, and compliant across territories.

Our legal team regularly supports content creators, record labels, and publishing houses as their dedicated music licensing solicitor. We advise on performance rights, synchronisation licences, digital distribution deals, and copyright ownership structures. Whether you're clearing rights for a new release or managing licensing disputes, we ensure your interests are robustly represented.

As a leading global SaaS licence lawyer, we support software providers, app developers, and EdTech platforms in navigating commercial licensing, end-user terms, and white-label deployments. Our SaaS licensing frameworks are carefully drafted to reflect scalability, data compliance, and cross-border enforceability—suitable for both B2B and B2C models.

Clients also retain us as a UK content licensing lawyer to structure influencer agreements, content syndication deals, and branded publishing arrangements. We provide strategic advice on royalties, territory restrictions, rights of reuse, and termination clauses, particularly for clients in the fashion, publishing, and digital media sectors.

Whether you are a startup, agency, or established rights holder, our goal is to deliver commercially viable legal documentation—drafted in plain English and always aligned with your business objectives. PAIL Solicitors provides fixed-fee consultations and responsive legal advice, tailored to the evolving landscape of global intellectual property.
