Davenport Lyons was a London-based law firm that entered into administration on 25 April 2014. Although most of their work concerned corporate acquisitions, in 2007 their actions against file sharers became news in the United Kingdom.[4] This subject became widely publicised in late 2008 because of the number of innocent people receiving letters from the firm, it was reported on Watchdog that Atari stopped using this firm for this reason.[5]
They were incorporated in 2001[3] and in 2008 listed 16 associates[1] and 41 partners.[2] Prior to their entry into file-sharing related intellectual property litigation, they were best known for their involvement in the case of a London tailor near Savile Row.[6][7]
