Our practice stands proudly as a Tier 1 choice in the industry, as recognised by Legal 500 2024. This recognition provides reassurance that you are in safe hands – our lawyers have been measured against the very best in their practice specialism.  

We understand the nuances and challenges of the media industry and provide tailored guidance to producers and distributors of film and television on all aspects of the development, financing, production and exploitation of media assets. This includes UK tax credit, co-production structuring, tax advice, single project and slate financing, agreements with creative talent, project commissioning and acquisition, and fund formation. We have particular expertise in structuring complex cross-border, co-financing and co-production arrangements for media assets and securitising media revenue streams. 

Our media-focused corporate lawyers regularly advise on strategic investments, joint ventures, and mergers and acquisitions in the media sector, and so are attuned to the market norms and typical deal structures for transactions in this space. Working closely with specialist colleagues in tax, employment, IP and other relevant areas, the corporate team draws upon the breadth of expertise of the Media Group to deliver a seamless one-stop legal service for your corporate transactions.
