When Paul Groves qualified at Harbottle & Lewis in March 2006 he was offered a place in every department he trained in. With great prescience he made the case that he should straddle two groups that were regarded as very different at the time: the interactive entertainment group and the sports and sponsorship group. Paul foresaw that the two sectors would become increasingly linked through digital media. Since then, he has become instrumental in developing one of the firm's niche expertise areas - granting and exploiting sponsorship rights across new media platforms. Only three years after qualifying, Groves had developed his own practice and started instructing trainees and junior assistants.
