Entertainment Development, Production & Financing

  •  

There’s a reason they call it “a production.” With new financial models, expanding distribution channels, complex IP and rights issues, and greater budgets and scale than ever before, making today’s entertainment is an undertaking like no other. That’s why a wide array of entertainment leaders, from traditional industry players to the new digital giants, turn to us. Our established expertise in every facet of entertainment is helping clients in all segments of the industry - cable TV to live theater to podcasts to videogames to social media-hosted shows - bring their projects to life and maximize their return.

How We Help

Decades of experience, and a broad national platform, enable us to offer clients an end-to-end legal solution:

  • We assist with development, acquisition, and production issues, including chain of title and rights analyses, day-to-day production and clearance advice, pre-broadcast review, E&O assistance, and production legal services.
  • We advise on ancillary revenue models, talent negotiation, and production services agreements.
  • We secure intellectual property protection and support all forms of licensing.
  • We help clients maintain labor flexibility and manage disruptions when they arise.
  • Our tax lawyers advise on optimal project financial structure.
  • Our immigration team speeds the way for foreign talent to work in the U.S.

We’ve seen it all, which means we know where the pitfalls and opportunities can be found. Whether it’s a major, studio-financed motion picture or a short-form radio documentary, we’re proud to play a key role in realizing our clients’ vision.
