Lauren Pereira

Senior Associate

Conyers

Lauren Stone

I'm a Managing Associate in the Digital, Commerce & Creative team and I've spent over ten years working with clients across the creative, media and entertainment industries. My work sits at the intersection of IP, commercial strategy and creative industries. I specialise in complex IP transactions - high-value sponsorship deals, talent agreements, creative partnerships, media buying negotiations and media catalogue acquisitions. I've also spent time in-house at a media agency, a Premier League football club, a model agency and a theatre, so I get the commercial pressures my clients face and how to get deals over the line. Music is a real sweet spot for me and I've been named as a key lawyer in Music by Legal 500. I help my clients navigate the convergence of music and brands - from rights clearances for live events and campaigns, to negotiations with rightsholders, through to investment in music rights and catalogues. Beyond music, I work with clients across fashion, talent and media; always with a focus on protecting, leveraging and commercialising IP rights in creative spaces.
