Internet and Media Law | Kyriakides & Braier London, England

Peter Adediran, practising solicitor at Kyriakides & Braier is an acclaimed specialist in Internet Law.

Drawing experience from a career spanning both sides of the Atlantic including South America and Europe, Peter, who was a Professor of Business, Law and the Internet at the European University in Barcelona, is a valuable asset to K&B and affords you a unique insight and perspective on Internet Law.

Peter has practised Internet law since the floatation of the first UK ISP Freeserve in 1999. He predicted the many trends that have seen the Internet develop over the last decade. Working for a North American venture capital firm during the dot com boom, Peter is a pioneer of the Internet in the UK and believed that it could bring many benefits to the world: accessibility to information, the great ability for communications, marketability -the Internet would be the great equaliser.

Peter would work actively to both encourage the use of the Internet in both business and adoption by consumers. Peter recognized very early on that the ideologies behind the Internet would need laws to protect both user and creator. Peter was involved in writing many of the precedent contracts that would eventually become the standard in Internet related business.

Not business as usual, business as unusual.
This would become the theme that Peter would enthuse to businesses during the early years of Internet adoption and it has since proved the test of time.

Peter believed that businesses should take advantage of the Internet but with caution, awareness and preparation.

Peter would also pioneer the branding of law firms in the 90s by creating his own company 'Tomorrow's Law'. Peter's firm would break away from the old school traditions preset by many established law firms of the time and would work hard to protect the rights of both the users and contributors to the Internet and Media world.

The Internet has changed the way we access, view and pay for media. Businesses not only thrive on the availability of the Internet, many survive on it. According to Peter the Internet is still far from the potential that he had hoped for. Not least because of the unfairness of poorer countries not being able to afford the huge cost of being part of the digital age.

Although many great achievements and services born from the Internet have given us richer, more convenient lifestyles, the laws that protect user and contributor were never fully realized. Opportunistic businesses lacked aware.old

ness and resulted in a number of laws that lacked completeness, resulting in grey areas which manifested themselves in the form of Cyber Squatting, the farce of domain name registration and Spam.

These are the reasons that any user or contributor to Internet & Media business should rely on a solicitor with an in depth knowledge of the laws that govern their interests.

Writing the book 'A Practical Guide to Business, Law & the Internet' was another step towards providing the public with the power to use and protect their interests over the Internet. K&B are proud to have Peter as part of our team and look forward to empowering our clients with his unique insight into the practice of Internet Law.
