Media and Entertainment
Rights-first counsel for producers, studios, agencies, publishers and creators: chain of title before release, injunctions after infringement.
How This Sector Operates
Content businesses live and die by rights: who owns them, who granted them, what was cleared, and what happens when someone copies. Media and Entertainment work centres on intellectual property and a complete chain of title, verified before financing or release, and enforced through infringement proceedings when copying occurs.
