Film & Television

Practice Overview

Every film project or television show starts with an idea and a vision for reaching audiences. The process of writing, acquiring rights, securing financing, shooting, editing, and distributing a film can take years. Producers making content for broadcast television must also navigate the complexities of financing, licensing, and regulatory compliance – all while competing for eyes focused on digital platforms.

We counsel clients alongside high-profile talent agencies and in matters represented by some of Hollywood’s most reputable entertainment law firms. We have experience working with SVOD streaming services, traditional studios, cable television networks, documentary filmmakers and unscripted television production companies, and local broadcast television stations.

We assist clients with reviewing and negotiating:

  • option rights and acquisition agreements
  • service provider agreements
  • production services agreements
  • talent attachment
