Media

Our team can also help protect your brand's uniqueness. We conduct thorough trademark checks and handle all aspects of trademark registration, providing comprehensive support for mass media conglomerates. Furthermore, we offer expert guidance on trademark and copyright matters, safeguarding your creative assets from any potential infringement, and enforcing intellectual property rights. Beyond that, we manage extensive trademark portfolios for renowned media brands, making sure that their identities remain secure and distinctive in the market. 

 Our media lawyers are dedicated to bringing your film and television projects to life, supporting you in the early stages – helping you secure options and writer's agreements that lay solid foundations for your vision. The team can also guide you through to production – bringing together a cast, crew, and directors, while making sure the necessary clearances are met, and help you close complex, multi-party financing transactions. 

 But it doesn't stop there. Our team can help you navigate the complexities of new media distribution models, such as cloud-based and OTT exploitation. We are always looking at ways to optimise your project's presence on online delivery platforms, supporting you in ensuring that your content reaches all of its target audiences.

Our team's expertise is also global, with lawyers that practice in multiple jurisdictions in addition to the UK, such as the US, Germany, Spain and France, regularly advising on cross-border transactions as well as disputes, navigating the monetisation of various forms of government subsidisation of content creation, treaty and non-treaty co-productions, the localisation of content (for example, regulatory compliance, remake and format deals), and international tax implications.

Your success is our priority. We are here to help you explore opportunities, mitigate risks, unlock the potential of your projects and to realise value.
