Clive Halperin

Clive helps clients achieve their commercial and strategic objectives by finding tailored legal solutions. “Legal knowledge is assumed,” he explains. “What sets you apart is understanding the client, their goals, and developing the right legal and commercial tactics to get them there.” Clients have described his approach as ‘magicking a solution.’

His expertise spans company law, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and dispute resolution. He advises on commercial, technology, and e-commerce law, with a strong focus on media and sport. He also works with franchisees of multinational brands and advises on intellectual property, licensing, and trademark management.

Clive understands that legal templates are widely available but often inadequate. “A template may include unnecessary clauses—or miss crucial ones. My role is to ensure my clients have the right legal structures to protect and maximize their commercial interests.”

With a background in pharmacy and a passion for technology, Clive thrives on continuous learning. “You can’t get comfortable in my field—there’s always new data protection, company, or consumer rights law. It forces you to think.”

A King’s College London graduate, Clive qualified as a solicitor in 1994 and is a member of The Society of Computers & Law and The Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
