Michelle Levicki

I specialise in intellectual property, technology, data protection and commercial contracts, including hotel franchise and management contracts.

I joined Fladgate in September 2015 and qualified as a solicitor in the commercial, sports and intellectual property team in 2017.

I have experience acting for clients in a broad range of industries including hospitality, advertising, insurance, technology, gaming, fashion, leisure and sports. In particular, and in the fast-moving world of data science and analytics, I enjoy helping clients to find realistic and practical solutions to complex data protection and commercial issues.

I advise clients on a wide-range of matters including the supply of goods and services, hotel management and franchise agreements, commission arrangements, software development, licensing and software-as-a-service agreements, data protection compliance issues, trade mark protection and arrangements relating to the exploitation of intellectual property rights.

I am a member of Fladgate’s Esports and EdTech teams and also a committee member of the UJIA’s business networking group.

Outside of work, I like to take a break from using the left side of my brain and am a keen painter and (albeit novice) baker.
