Media And entertainment solicitors
The media and entertainment sector is undergoing 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. The landscape continues to change as OFCOM regulations push more independent TV production outside London to other regions of the UK.
Our specialist media lawyers have vast experience in advising individuals, production companies, broadcasters, founders, investors and distributors in relation to all aspects of media and entertainment law. Our experience spans the full spectrum of the media and entertainment industry including TV, film, radio, music and live events clients. We can guide you through each stage from finance and development to exploitation and ownership of content.
A number of our lawyers have previously worked in-house for major broadcasters 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 in the media and entertainment industry.
