TV & Film

We support all the stakeholders in this content creation sector transitioning from the perception of a “traditional” media to a digitally supported production and exploitation environment.

We have a team of highly experienced film and TV practitioners who have held senior legal and commercial positions in, for example, major film finance and distribution companies, leading broadcaster groups and digital content owners. The combined experience gives the team a unique insight to assist our clients to understand the legal and commercial imperatives for producers, financiers and distributors of all types of film and TV content.

Our areas of specialisation include legal and commercial advice on the following areas:

  • advising financing clients making collateralized debt lending and equity investment into feature film projects, television programmes and online content
  • advising production clients in the production and financing of film and TV content including the fullest range of drafting and negotiating production agreements, finance and security agreements, clearance of rights in support of insurance policies, sales and distribution agreements and collection arrangements
  • advising clients on intellectual property rights ownership and protection
  • advising content creators on funding structures, new and emerging funding structures and the exploitation of the products of their endeavours
