Licensing Advisory

Note from Jennifer Reed:

“I've spent close to two decades working in public performance licensing, including over 17 years in one of the UK's main licensing bodies, reviewing renewals and licence setups for a wide variety of organisations.”


If you've ever tried to work out whether your business needs a licence for background music, film screenings, or TV in a staff room, you'll know how quickly it turns into a minefield, especially once you're dealing with more than one site, where some situations need their own licence, some don't need one at all, and it's not always obvious which is which.

I now work independently of any licensing body, so when I look at your setup it's completely unbiased and is all about your position and genuine requirements.

I offer structured, confidential reviews to confirm where you stand, and if you'd rather not deal with renewals yourself I can take that on too, reviewing terms, filling in lengthy forms, and making sure everything's submitted correctly and on time without taking you or your team away from more pressing business matters.

Between PPL/PRS, MPLC, Filmbank, CCLI, AVLA and everything else, it's a lot to keep track of, and most in-house teams don't have anyone whose actual job it is to specialise in this. Even a good solicitor won't necessarily know the specifics of a particular licensing body's rules, and that's where I come in, having that inside knowledge in, what is, a very niche area of Copyright Licensing makes all the difference.
