Shamina Knights
Shamina Knights is an Associate in the Interactive and Creative Media Team
Shamina advises clients on the commercialisation, protection, and enforcement of intellectual property rights, helping businesses protect, exploit, and maximise the value of their IP assets. Her practice encompasses IP disputes and infringement matters, as well as advising on the commercial arrangements that underpin the creation, use, and monetisation of IP.
Shamina regularly drafts, negotiates, and advises on a variety of commercial agreements, including licensing, sponsorship, franchising, brand collaboration, distribution, and services agreements. She works closely with clients to develop practical strategies for the exploitation and enforcement of their IP rights, ensuring that their intellectual property is both commercially valuable and adequately protected.
By combining commercial, contentious, and strategic expertise, Shamina helps clients align their intellectual property strategy with their broader business objectives and growth plans.
Prior to joining Sheridans, Shamina gained experience in-house at a media company and at a boutique intellectual property firm, where she developed a strong foundation in both IP and commercial practice. This grounding gave her not only a thorough understanding of the legal frameworks that govern IP, but also a deep-rooted appreciation of the commercial realities and business pressures that her clients face day to day.
