Georgina Rigg

Georgina is a senior associate in the firm. She is a member of the Intellectual Property and commercial contracts practice group, and a member of the Antitrust, Competition and Trade Regulation practice, two different but highly linked practice areas. This allows her to act as a well-rounded and trusted adviser to a wide range of clients in a range of industries. Georgina was previously singled out in the Legal 500 as a ‘Rising Star’ in Commercial Contracts in 2024 and was recently ranked as a ‘Leading Associate’ in Commercial Contracts 2025.

Georgina advises clients on a broad range of issues such as: 

  • IP protection and enforcement strategies, including advising a number of iconic and market leading clients on their global IP portfolios;
  • Advertising and claims, including advising on green claims and product claims;
  • Brand optimisation strategies, including talent/influencer and ambassador agreements;
  • Commercial agreements in all shapes and sizes from IP licenses to warehousing agreements;
  • E-commerce strategies, including selective distribution;
  • Consumer law issues, including website compliance; and
  • Product compliance issues, including CE and UKCA markings, electronics regulation, battery regulation, waste recycling obligations, packaging, chemical compliance and environmental obligations.

Georgina’s experience often sees her advising the same brand on a wide range of issues but all with the same purpose of getting a product to market.

Georgina gained experience in the intellectual property department, competition and antitrust team, and the trade regulation group during her first year with K&L Gates. Also during her training contract, Georgina gained experience in the corporate team, the Asset and Corporate Finance group, and the white collar and investigations team.

Prior to joining the firm, Georgina was a paralegal at a paralegal agency whilst she studied the LPC. In addition, she was a legal intern at a listed British beverage company and worked for over a year as a marketing and advertising executive in Soho. In 2016, she attended the vacation scheme in the firm’s London office.
