Pre-Publication & Pre-Broadcast Review

    •  
There’s a reason why so many writers’ rooms, newsrooms, soundstages and editors’ bays have a Davis Wright Tremaine content lawyer on speed-dial. Our mission is helping content creators find a way to get their vision onto the page or screen while finding solutions to minimize risk. Many of us were writers, journalists, or filmmakers before coming to the law, so we know and respect the creative process. When other lawyers say no, we try to find a way to yes.

Overview

We litigate in the same areas we advise - copyright/fair use, trademark, defamation, and privacy - so we keep abreast of the latest developments in the law and are better equipped to provide guidance on the risks faced in content creation. This shows in the breadth and legal sophistication of the projects we have the privilege to handle.

From unpredictable live-action broadcasts to boundary-pushing comedy to blockbuster investigations, we review much of the industry’s most seen, most valuable, and most provocative content. Working across platforms, we support clients in film and television, digital and print media, live theater, podcasting, videogames, and more. Whether your audience is accessing content in English or en español, through streaming or airwaves, via console, phone, or the newsstand, we work to ensure your message gets heard and your vision comes through.
