I specialise in intellectual property law in the digital and creative sector – so branding, copyright in content and images, websites etc; anything which is fun and innovative! I help people identify what they have, sort out how to protect it and then how to enforce it if the need arises. I love books and am currently reading “All The Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr – all about the occupation of St Malo during...

Hi YATMers! Wil Stamers here. Late last year after a blustery and emotional walk along the beach deciding “if not now, then WHEN!!” we moved to Poole. The sea has always been a part of my life, from idyllic summer holidays on the Scilly Isles, to messing around in dinghies on reservoirs in Cardiff, and completing around the world yacht race. I found my soul mate, best friend and wife Ellie, who was also competing, on a different boat, we always knew we’d live closer to the sea. Now here, I’m...
