Andrew Cox

I am an associate in the Media, Entertainment and Sports group, based in our London office and specialising in commercial and media regulatory work.

I support clients from across the media, sports and entertainment industries who are looking to monetise content or rights – whether by way of advertising, sponsorship, media agency appointments or content licensing and distribution deals. I have particular experience working with media owners and publishers on the deployment of adtech and related technologies, helping OTT platforms and other parts of the media ecosystem navigate the regulatory frameworks overseen by Ofcom and the ASA, supporting rights holders and broadcast partners on media distribution deals, and advising content owners on complex licensing deals with AI platforms.

I have an especially keen interest in the impact of emerging technologies on the way that we access and consume content – and regularly write for our MediaWrites news hub on the opportunities, challenges and changes that this will present across all of these sector groups, and to the relevant regulators.

Many of the organisations I work with require solutions that span multiple jurisdictions. I have previously spent time living and working in both Melbourne and Hong Kong, and continue to enjoy collaborating with colleagues across our network of international offices to offer a truly global perspective. I also trained with Bird & Bird, gaining experience across our intellectual property, corporate, and dispute resolution teams.
