Private clients legal advice and support

At the Cohen Davis, we extend our expertise in internet law to a range of private client services, offering the same unwavering dedication, skill, and discretion. Our team handles personal legal matters with care and professionalism, ensuring our clients’ needs are met with bespoke solutions.

Our private clients services

For footballers and other sportspeople, we provide a comprehensive service that goes beyond reputation management. We draft wills, handle family law matters, and manage disputes, whether they are private, between clients and their clubs, or involve claims such as breach of contract or unfair dismissal. Our expertise in litigation ensures that our clients are supported through every legal challenge, always working with the utmost discretion to protect their privacy and interests.

Clients in the entertainment industry also rely on us for a holistic approach to their legal needs. We protect their copyright, negotiate commercial contracts, and resolve disputes with business partners or band members. At the same time, we handle their personal affairs, from family law issues to drafting wills and managing sensitive litigation.

Our private client work frequently includes complex, cross-border, and international disputes. Whether providing guidance on challenging legal frameworks or representing clients in high-stakes matters, we deliver a seamless and confidential service carefully tailored to their unique needs.

Disputes and litigation

Disputes can arise unexpectedly, even in the most carefully managed personal or professional affairs. At the Internet Law Centre, we represent private clients in a broad range of disputes, providing robust, strategic, and tailored legal support. Whether the issue involves a private matter, contractual disagreements, or financial disputes, our focus is always on achieving the best possible outcome while safeguarding our clients’ reputation and personal interests.

For our private clients, including high-profile individuals such as athletes and entertainment professionals, disputes often require sensitive handling to protect their public and private standing. We provide clear, common-sense advice aimed at resolving matters amicably whenever possible, recognising that prolonged litigation can be costly and disruptive.

However, when litigation becomes necessary, we act decisively and fight hard for our clients. We approach each case with meticulous preparation and a focus on the outcome our clients want to achieve. Success is not simply about winning in court but delivering resolutions that meet our clients’ objectives, whether that involves protecting assets, resolving family or financial disagreements, or safeguarding their reputation.

We are also adept at managing complex, cross-border disputes, bringing expertise in navigating international legal frameworks. With discretion and tenacity, we ensure that even the most challenging conflicts are handled with the care and attention our clients expect, always keeping their best interests at heart.

At the Internet Law Centre, we are committed to providing private clients with exceptional representation, delivering results that reflect their priorities and ensuring peace of mind throughout the process.

Trust, discretion and reputation

Our private client services are built on trust, discretion, and a deep understanding of our clients and their affairs. We take the time to know our clients personally, ensuring that our advice reflects their unique circumstances and priorities. With extensive experience across a range of personal legal matters, we are well-equipped to provide guidance that always considers the preservation and enhancement of our clients’ good reputations.

Our approach to litigation mirrors this philosophy. We understand that disputes, whether personal or professional, can have far-reaching implications. That’s why we approach every case with a strategic mindset, prioritising the client’s best interests and maintaining discretion at every stage. Whether representing sports professionals, entertainment figures, or high-net-worth individuals, we manage each case with care, ensuring that outcomes align with both immediate and long-term goals.

When it comes to wills and estate planning, we recognise the deeply personal nature of these decisions. Our team ensures that the client’s wishes are at the forefront, helping them pass on assets in a way that respects their values and intentions while maintaining the highest levels of privacy. Every plan is tailored, ensuring it aligns with their legacy and protects their loved ones.

Family law disputes

Family law disputes often arise from challenging and deeply personal circumstances, such as uncharacteristic indiscretions, unpleasant breakups, or other difficult situations. At the Internet Law Centre, we approach these matters with sensitivity, providing common-sense advice and steadfast support, always prioritising our clients' well-being and the preservation of their good reputation.

Whenever possible, we aim to resolve family matters amicably, understanding that disputes such as divorce, financial disagreements, or custody issues are rarely in our clients' best interest to litigate publicly. Our focus is on achieving practical and dignified solutions that protect our clients’ personal and professional standing.

However, when disputes escalate to court, we fight vigorously for our clients. Our approach to litigation is defined by dedication, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. While winning in the traditional sense is always a priority, we also recognise that success is about delivering resolutions that align with our clients’ goals. Whether this involves protecting family relationships, securing financial stability, or safeguarding discretion, we relentlessly pursue results that serve their interests both in and out of the courtroom.

With a team that balances sensitivity with tenacity, we ensure our clients feel supported throughout every step of the process. No matter how complex or delicate the situation, our commitment is always to achieve outcomes that reflect our clients’ best interests.

Power of attorney

A Power of Attorney is an essential legal tool for many of our clients, particularly those who care for elderly parents or family members. It allows trusted individuals to manage financial, medical, or other personal affairs if a loved one becomes unable to do so themselves due to illness, age, or unforeseen circumstances.

At Cohen Davis, we guide our clients through the process of establishing a Power of Attorney with clarity and precision. This is another area that requires good, sensible, and common-sense advice, combined with a deep understanding of our clients’ wishes and needs. We ensure that the legal framework is tailored to their specific circumstances, providing peace of mind that their loved ones’ affairs will be managed effectively and with the utmost care.

As required, we travel to meet our clients wherever they are in the country, ensuring the process is as seamless as possible. We also visit their parents or family members to take instructions directly and carry out the necessary legal work efficiently. This personalised approach allows us to address their needs promptly while respecting their time and commitments.

With the right legal tools in place and the guidance of a trusted lawyer, our clients can get on with what they do best, knowing that their loved ones and legal affairs are in safe hands. A Power of Attorney is more than just a legal document—it’s a way of ensuring thoughtful support, security, and stability for the future.

Criminal investigations and police station representation 

We provide expert legal support for clients facing criminal investigations, offering a first point of call for those in need of immediate and strategic assistance. Our lawyers are highly experienced, with over 25 years of expertise in police station representation. Each is fully accredited, ensuring clients receive the highest standard of care and legal advice from the very outset.

Our team brings a unique combination of experience, blending their deep understanding of criminal defence with their specialism in free speech, social media, and internet law. This makes us particularly well-equipped to handle cases involving online activity, reputational risks, and the complex interplay between criminal law and the digital world.

From the moment we provide initial legal advice, we think ahead, not only addressing the immediate situation but also considering the broader implications for our clients’ reputation and career. Our approach is meticulous and proactive, ensuring that every decision and action is taken with the client’s long-term interests in mind.

Whether attending police interviews, advising on investigations, or managing proceedings, we handle these matters with the utmost care and discretion. Protecting our clients’ reputation is paramount, and we work tirelessly to navigate these situations in a way that minimises disruption to their personal and professional lives.
