Excellent, timely service that helped my company navigate games contracts.

Sam was able to take on ALJO on as a client with very short notice which I appreciated, he was very knowledgeable in parsing through games publisher contracts in a high pressure environment and helped me navigate negotiations in a manner of great benefit to the company. Would thoroughly recommend his service and that of Eaton Smith. As an additional note, Chris has been a brilliant presence of support and insight over the the last decade as part of the firm's active engagement and outreach with the Yorkshire games industry.

Fantastic Service - Clear, Concise and professional

Working with Chris has been an absolutely fantastic experience. He was professional and clear about all of his advice. Chris is incredibly knowledeable about his area but also around the challenges the games industry currently faces and I appreciated being able to talk candidly and ask for advice on areas that I think other firms would not have understood. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will be coming back for any further legal support in the future.

Chris is a fountain of legal knowledge that goes well beyond the black and white mentality you often find.

Let’s face it, deciding on a solicitor is a bit of a gamble, but fortunately, we found Chris. Understanding the legal landscape is daunting, and I would not have secured our deal without him. He is a fountain of legal knowledge that goes well beyond the black and white mentality you often find. I discovered very early on that Chris is first and foremost a genuine person, who also happens to be an incredible solicitor. Chris has a unique way of getting results, by delivering practical information, combined with strategic moves and overall empathy. His style is subtle, focused and precise, which genuinely helped us carve out a deal with little to no resistance. I can’t emphasise how important this is, as Chris never lost sight of our needs, and he always had a sense of momentum with a constant view of completion in mind. Chris is top of his game and is a rare breed of AAA solicitor who also goes that extra mile for you. It’s honestly been a pleasure, and I will continue to collaborate with Chris for all our company affairs.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eaton Smith twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. Chris assisted me with the EULA for my indie game, and his kindness, thoroughness, and incredibly fast email responses made the entire process seamless. Later, when I needed a solicitor for my prenup, I immediately turned to Chris, who connected me with Zahra. She was just as professional and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She even caught an error in our documents at 8 PM on a Friday and reached out immediately to help us fix it. Their level of attentiveness and professionalism is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.

The team at Ubisoft have always found Eaton Smith’s solicitors to be professional, efficient and precise in the commitment to the service we ask them to provide. Chris Taylor's attention to detail is exemplary, you could not ask for someone more dedicated to assist you in employment law matters than Kate Booth and Andrew Pedley has offered excellent advice and timely intervention in complicated negotiations. We would not hesitate in recommending Eaton Smith to others. Eaton Smith have represented the UK office of Ubisoft that operates in all Export and Middle east countries as well as the UK for many years.
