Nostalgia for sale - how one lawyer turned a passion for movie posters into a day job

Harbottle & Lewis' Andy Millmore tells Sofia Lind how his passion for collecting old movie posters turned into a business venture

By any measure, a collection of several thousand film posters is a large one, not least when it is a private collection. So contentious intellectual property (IP) specialist lawyer Andy Millmore's decision to turn his passion of collecting movie memorabilia into a business venture was in many ways a logical one.

Millmore, who heads Harbottle & Lewis' litigation practice, is now co-owner of what has been described as London's foremost film poster gallery, Limelight Movie Art on King's Road in Chelsea.
