Client Testimonials
"Protecting my name and image is key. Back in 2005 I was looking for a firm that knew their stuff, didn't cost the earth and would not only get things done but also achieve results. Since then, the Waterfront has consistently achieved all of these objectives and are also a real pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend them to anyone needing to take swift action to protect a brand."

Consultancy Agreements
You should always enter into a written consultancy agreement with independent consultants, and in particular, if your business is heavily reliant on copyright (i.e. the IT industry).
The purpose of a consultancy agreement is four-fold to (i) make sure you get paid and receive the deliverables you expect; (ii) protect your confidential information; (iii) ensure that all intellectual property rights which the consultant creates are owned by you; and (iv) to provide you with recourse if it later turns out that the work done by the consultant infringes intellectual property rights owned by a third party.
