Entertainment & Media

Deals, rights and disputes for creators, producers and media businesses.

Overview

What this involves

Creative work is valuable, and the deals behind it are often complex. Rights need to be secured, talent and production agreements negotiated, and content cleared before it reaches an audience, frequently across several countries at once.

We represent artists, producers, publishers and media companies on agreements, rights and disputes across film, television, music, publishing and digital media.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can you review a recording or publishing contract?

Yes. These agreements often have long-term consequences, so an independent review before signing is well worth it.

Who owns content I created for a client?

It depends on the agreement and the circumstances. We can review your position and help document ownership clearly.

Do you handle international distribution deals?

Yes. We advise on cross-border licensing and distribution, coordinating with local counsel where needed.
