Practices

Media & entertainment

Over the past decade the use and importance of media in everyday life has increased rapidly and changed dramatically. This area has seen a move from more 'traditional' media such as publishing, film and TV to 'new' media such as digital, interactive and social media as well as an increasing convergence between media. We have been involved in a number of the most high profile projects in the converged media field. Whatever your requirements, we can provide practical, considered and commercial advice for all aspects of media and entertainment.

With difficult economic times brings new opportunities. We continue to work with clients to benefit from: expanding into new jurisdictions; taking over smaller companies; seeking advice in relation to brand protection and exploitation of IP; privacy issues; financing the creation of media assets; and tax incentives.
