The complainant first did a Nominet DRS and lost, then made a Nominet DRS Appeal and lost, then filed a complaint in a London Court but never attempted to serve it, then filed another complaint in an English County Court which eventually was served against my dissolved US Corporation but then the complainant lost this and has been ordered to pay indemnity costs. The complainant has apparently filed a new claim against my US Corporation but this has been stayed until the indenmity costs are paid for the second claim. The solicitor representing the complainant is well known in the UK domain space and was a Board member of Nominet, until recently. While he was a Board member he represented the complainant in this particular .co.uk domain dispute. This solicitor recently steeped down from the Nominet Baoard and Nominet are seeking legal costs against him as they filed legal proceedings before he stepped down from their Board. They claimed in these proceedings that he had a conflict of interest being on their Board while simultaneously representing individual domain name stake holders with Nominet related disputes.

I was wondering if any of you could recommend who you think are the best .co.uk domain name solicitors, so that I can engage them to deal with this dispute? Many thanks.
If this was the game show Jeopardy! I'd answer: What is ireland.co.uk?

Otherwise a few:

Adam Taylor @ Adlex Solicitors
