Izzy Gould

Izzy advises on a broad range of commercial matters, with a particular focus on drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements such as terms and conditions, confidentiality agreements, hire and purchase agreements, supply of goods and services agreements, distribution agreements, and influencer agreements. Izzy also supports clients with obtaining, understanding and implementing advice from overseas lawyers.

She supports clients with the preparation and review of franchise documentation, including franchise agreements and related ancillary documents such as side letters, waiver letters and restrictive covenant overviews. She also assists with, and advises on, compliance with the British Franchise Association’s Code of Ethics, as well as supporting on franchisee issues and managed exits.

Izzy also assists clients with protecting their brand and managing their intellectual property rights. This includes submitting trademark applications (including background due diligence), managing renewals, providing general portfolio management support, and advising on IP ownership, use and protection within commercial arrangements.

Izzy also assists with contentious IP matters, including drafting pre-action correspondence such as termination notices and settlement documentation.

She advises clients on key aspects of data protection compliance, including reviewing and drafting privacy policies, data retention policies, and responding to SARs.

Examples of Izzy’s work include:

• Drafting ‘stock sale’ terms and conditions and installation terms and conditions to cover a mixed business-to-business and business-to-consumer customer base.
• Drafting a content creator/influencer agreement where the influencer was under 18, ensuring that all relevant data protection, intellectual property, advertising and safeguarding obligations were met.
• Reviewing and negotiating a back-to-back services agreement, ensuring the client’s original obligations with the local authority were passed down to its subcontractor.
