Hi, I’m Will.

My legal background…

My previous Legal Career :

Before founding The Charlesworth Consultancy, I built a career as a well-respected and experienced Intellectual Property, Reputation Management and Commercial Litigation Partner in the City. Whilst I remain a solicitor, I am a ‘solicitor non-practicing’.

I acted for a range of clients, including celebrities, public figures, artists, luxury brands and technology companies – in size from start-ups to multi-nationals.

With a strong litigation background, I represented clients in the High Court, Business and Property Courts and Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC).

Previous Legal Career Media and PR experience:

I was shortlisted for the Citywealth Brand Management and Reputation Awards, in the “Corporate Thought Leadership - Crypto” category

I have appeared as a guest speaker at the University of Glasgow, on Intellectual property Rights.

I have been interviewed on live TV discussing legal topical issues, and I have written for The Times, The Sun and Newsweek.

I hosted the popular ‘Law WithAI’ podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
