Film and television

Our team offers tailored advice to both new and established clients operating within the film and television industries. We are the only law firm to have partnered the UK Film Centre in Cannes - 2009 is our second consecutive year - and we believe that this partnership, together with our knowledge of the industry, offers our media clients an unparalleled service outside of London. 

We have received credits acknowledgement for providing legal advice to the multi award-winning film Lovelorn, and were also appointed legal advisers to the main participant in the Channel 4 cutting edge documentary 'Dangerous Seas For Boys' aired in November 2009.

We regularly advise clients on a full range of issues ranging from development and option agreements to funding and rights clearance issues. Our experience covers all aspects of the production process including production including format rights, development options, co-productions agreements, pre-sales, production and distribution.

This wealth of knowledge and experience enables us to advise our clients from the very start of the production process through to its conclusion and if necessary advise our clients in respect of any disputes that can unfortunately arise where relationships between the parties break down.
