Welcome

Welcome to my professional pages.  Thank you for visiting.

Below you will find my brief bio and by clicking on the links to the right you can access details of articles I’ve written, presentations I’ve given (and have coming up), and some recent media coverage.  I have also included links to sites that may be of interest to people involved in the digital media and technology sectors.  I am currently quite active in the field of law and social media, user generated content and virtual worlds, so you will find information on these areas here, too.

Please come back soon.  If you have questions or comments, post a reply, or email me at david.naylor@ffw.com.

Thanks,
