Welburn & Co

welburn.co.uk

Peter Welburn is a familiar figure to many in the world of Interactive Media and Entertainment. His legal experience is extensive and broad ranging. Starting his days as a property lawyer acting for the “great and good of the land” including the Duke of Westminster and many an Arab Sheikh, Peter moved on into heavy duty commercial property work acting as he did for many household names including Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Coca Cola.

With the recession of the 1990’s and as a Partner in one of London’s premier firms, Peter expanded his practice internationally and in particular to Central and Eastern Europe where he came to make quite a mark, not least for having co-ordinated the legal team responsible for what was then Hungary’s largest shopping centre project where shoppers quite literally shop in the company of sharks! Institutionally, Peter was part of a United Nations working party on international contract practices in industry with a specific focus on advising the emerging economies of the “New Europe” on legal reforms.

Having got tired of the large City firm environment and wanting a fresh challenge, Peter started out on his own in 1996 to take advantage of the new era of e-commerce and the dot.com revolution. Very quickly he came to represent many different participants in the premium rate industry including several industry groups, service providers, information providers and networks.

In addition to handling a complex mix of regulatory and contractual matters, Peter offers clients a quasi in-house service able to advice in confidence and with discretion at board level on the gamut of topics which affect all businesses including corporate, commercial and employment matters. This role has often led to Peter working with the larger law practices on an “as needs” basis and making much use of the valuable input afforded by the Bar. More recently, Peter has come to advise a number of broadcasters in respect to their regulatory obligations.
