Philip Hannay

Two-time Law Award winner Philip Hannay is Managing Director of Cloch Solicitors Limited, a leading Scottish legal boutique specialising in business law & intellectual property and is well-known for assisting creative entrepreneurs in generating money from ideas and artistic practice. Recently, he managed the brand of a UK-based newco from £zero to a sale value of $1Bn, all in under five years.

In addition to creating value (uniquely), Philip also defends clients’ intellectual wealth and has ranked in the UK top 10 for appearances before the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office Tribunals in relation to contentious IP matters.

Away from private practice, Philip acts as a Governor of the Baillie’s Institution, and he holds senior teaching positions in the University of Strathclyde School of Law – having directly tutored around 1,000 students over a 15-year period.
