The media and entertainment sector has undergone a period of rapid change and evolution as both consumers and media outlets embrace a broader range of distribution channels and ways of accessing content.
Our specialist Media and Entertainment division advises major institutions (such as Welsh Government and S4C), television production companies and film studios on media contracts and rights issues; as well as individuals, production companies, broadcasters, funders, investors and distributors in relation to all aspects of media and entertainment law.
We have a strong grasp of emerging technologies and advice with regard to interactive media, gaming and e-sport, with experience spanning the full spectrum of the industry including TV, film, radio, music and live events.
A number of our lawyers have previously worked in-house for the likes of major Welsh broadcaster S4C and, therefore, have an in-depth knowledge of the television industry inside and out. We also offer a fully integrated service advising media businesses on all aspects of corporate law including mergers and acquisitions, investments and joint venture agreements.
Our expertise across the sector has been further strengthened following the acquisition of Loosemores Solicitors, a well-established boutique firm with additional expertise in the media sector.
