Originally from the West Coast of the U.S., Kelsey Farish is a London-based solicitor with a practice spanning the UK, Europe and California. She specialises in the legal and responsible use of AI in audiovisual media, advising on everything from licensing strategies to digital rights protection.

Farish brings a rare dual perspective to her work, having advised multinational tech and media companies as well as the creatives whose voices, likenesses or original works are being shaped by them. Whether it’s an original screenplay, an actor’s voice, or filmed locations steeped in cultural significance, her goal is to ensure rightsholders retain control over how their assets are used, reused, or reimagined.

She works with production companies, platforms, and talent across the industry, and is a trusted advisor to organisations including Film London and ScreenSkills. A regular speaker at industry events and festivals such as SXSW, Farish is known for bridging the gap between innovation and creative integrity- and for bringing a genuine, deeply human connection to her work.
