Wiggin is a band 1 ranked interactive entertainment practice, and acts for many of the most successful games companies in the world, from independent studios all the way up to the largest platforms. I have over 13 years experience working in and with the games industry. Having spent time in-house at Disney Interactive and King, I have tackled a wide range of legal and commercial issues in the sector. I regularly advise on commercial and IP related issues, and have a particular focus on regulatory matters impacting games and the wider industry (such as consumer protection, privacy and online safety). I also advise adjacent sectors on online safety issues (e.g. social media, online forums, marketplaces). I am listed as a \'Star Associate\' in the games and social media rankings of Chambers & Partners and a \'Leading Associate\' in the video games rankings of The Legal 500.My favourite games include DOTA 2, Yakuza 0, SOMA and The Wolf Among Us.
