Susanna Speirs
Susanna joined Reviewed & Cleared in November 2019 and is a highly experienced intellectual property and contracts lawyer, providing practical and commercial IP, title clearance and contracts advice to media clients.
Susanna has a background in high-level IP litigation, having trained at Freshfields before moving to Field Fisher to work in their renowned IP litigation team, where she gained a wealth of experience in passing off, copyright and trade mark infringement claims and domain name disputes.
Susanna has spent the past 11 years working in-house in a variety of senior roles, initially advising NatMags (now Hearst UK), on pre-publication matters as well as dealing with various privacy, defamation, contempt, data protection, IP and advertising standards issues. At Arsenal Football Club, she helped to set up the in-house legal team and, in this hugely varied role, managed the majority of Arsenal's contract and IP work, as well as working with Arsenal Media, the Premier League, UEFA and various high-profile footballers. Susanna has more recently worked at Unilever, both in a Senior Legal Counsel and subsequently General Counsel role, where she advised leadership teams in various parts of the business on both legal issues and strategy.
Susanna as a very practical, risk-based approach to legal issues and is at home working closely with clients to resolve their legal issues on tight timescales.
