Built by a Founder. For Founders.

Ben Lockyer advises founders, brand owners, artists, and operators on intellectual property, business strategy, and high-stakes disputes. His work focuses on protecting ownership, structuring deals, and positioning clients for growth in industries where brand, content, and leverage drive value. He represents clients in matters involving trade secrets, trademark and copyright infringement, patent disputes, business torts, and ownership and royalty conflicts, from pre-suit strategy through litigation and resolution.

Ben's approach is shaped by his background as a prosecutor and federal litigator, where he defended government agencies, judges, and senior officials in complex civil rights, and prosecuted financial crime and organized crime matters. That experience informs how he builds cases, assesses risk, and advises clients before issues escalate. He later practiced at an intellectual property boutique focused on brand protection before founding Lockyer Law to serve businesses and creatives operating in fast-moving, high-pressure environments.

His practice is deeply integrated into the creative and consumer economy. Ben regularly works with artists, managers, filmmakers, influencers, and brand owners on music, film, social media, sponsorships, merchandising, and garment manufacturing. He advises on deal structure, content ownership, licensing, and brand protection, helping clients convert creative output into scalable, durable businesses.

He also counsels startups, marketing and technology-driven companies, and multinational clients on strategic growth, transactions, and cross-border matters, including work involving the United Kingdom, South Korea, South America, and Japan. Known for clear judgment and disciplined strategy, Ben serves as both trial counsel and a long-term advisor to clients navigating growth, risk, and high-value opportunities.
