As you've mentioned it is a .UK domain, be advised that Nominet have quite a good Dispute Resolution Process if it comes to that...

You state that:


I am a registered partner of theirs and my website is a portfolio


It may not apply in your case, but normally, BigCo includes strict rules about using their name (or their products) in your own web-presence so be mindful that you might be in breach of your agreement.

I'd talk to them... but don't give in too easily - and get PROPER legal advice before pushing on too far.

Asking a bunch of non-lawyers for answers might get you into a bad situation. Talk to a layer that is well seasoned in domain name rights.

That said, there is a chance you could straight up lose the name with nothing but a court order to hang on your wall. Back in the old days you could hang onto it and sell it for a good profit, but with laws that passed a while ago, big business can come and take pretty much any name they want. If you think it is worth the fight, go talk to a lawyer.
