Jane Clemetson

Jane Clemetson is an experienced commercial, IP, data protection and AI lawyer advising everyone from the C-Suite to operational teams, focussing on media and creative businesses on legal and business affairs matters relating to the creation and exploitation of intellectual property of all descriptions and solving complex problems with my straightforward, practical approach.

Recently her activities have expanded into advising on the metaverse, web3, NFTs (“digital collectibles” as they seem to have rebranded themselves), digital fashion and the development and deployment of AI. She is probably the first lawyer to mint an NFT (two, actually) and list them on OpenSeas, where they sadly remain unsold.

Jane also provides strategic advice and has worked on projects for business transformation, establishing best practice, improving efficiency and good governance in all parts of a business.

Different approaches to the regulation of AI which have been and are being adopted at national and international level are presenting and will present many interesting challenges to be navigated, on which she advises, from SB-1047 recently passed by the California Senate but which may never become law, to the EU AI Act, slowly coming into force, to the UK’s cross-sector and outcome-based framework, not yet enshrined in law.

Jane's CV includes working at PPL and Sony Music as well as advising EMI Music Continental Europe and V2 and news publishers, TV production companies, podcast producers, songwriters, artists, music publishers, computer games designers and e-commerce providers. She is also an angel investor focussing on female-founded tech start-ups – including Figaro.
