With our extensive experience in film and television finance and production and a significant presence in both Los Angeles and New York, we are one of the leading U.S. law firms representing motion picture and television studios and distributors, banks and other financial services companies, investors, completion bond companies and producers within the film and television industry.
Film and television financing and investments
With our particular knowledge of film, television and other entertainment-related intellectual property assets, we have significant experience in negotiating investments and financing within the entertainment industry and in creating and perfecting security interests in these assets.
We assist our clients in single-picture and cross-collateralized multiple-picture financing transactions, including bridge and gap facilities, loan facilities backed by film- and television-related assets and revenue streams, and other transactions involving entertainment- and media related-intellectual property.
Our film and television finance lawyers work closely with other attorneys at the firm with specialties in relevant areas of law (such as intellectual property, bankruptcy and tax), and with the industry-specific experience to most effectively meet client needs. We have developed efficient and cost-responsive teams and processes to assist our clients in reaching their business objectives.
Because we are familiar with both the legal and practical concerns regarding the financing and production of films and television product, we are well situated to help investors evaluate and protect their investments and film- and television-related asset portfolios and, if necessary, establish an exit strategy for distressed holdings.
Collaborative, effective relationships
We work collaboratively and effectively with clients and their internal counsel, and have been privileged to serve our clients in a variety of capacities. Regardless of the scope of our representation, we strive to meet each client’s unique needs and to provide high-quality, cost-effective legal services.
We use a team approach that matches each client’s specific needs with the expertise of the right attorneys, no matter which office they work from. |
