We have had a great record of success assisting Film Financiers, Video and online game developers, Film & TV Producers/ Distributors, Talent agencies, Publishing Houses, Music Labels, TV Talent Shows and Online Gaming companies. Our specialist Media Law experience provides solid legal support services to individuals and corporate entities operating in the public eye.

 

We regularly advise on a wide range of areas such as;

 

  • Regulatory Matters & Licencing issues

  • Sponsorship deals
  • Image rights and personal brand name issues

Reputation Management, instant reaction, ‘bad press, rumour-mill, scandal and ‘Crisis management’ are some of our particular areas of expertise and achievement. We are one of the very few Legal Service Providers that have a working knowledge and support to OF/JFF & Patreon collabs and content creators.

 

We will work together with individual or organisation’s existing agents, agents or reps, or where none are in place, we can assist with negotiations directly on your behalf.

 

You should alwaysbe  open to exploring the alternatives to expensive disputes or potential litigation. Often that is in the better long-term interest of the Parties involved.  However, both our clients and their opponents should be aware, that if the situation requires it, we act robustly and swiftly on behalf of our clients, helping to preserve their interests and uphold their rights at every possible opportunity.
