We advise at every stage of the content lifecycle — from deal inception to final delivery. Our practice spans entertainment law, business affairs, and rights management across all media.
Development, production, financing, and distribution agreements for scripted and unscripted content across all major and independent platforms.
Synchronization licensing, master use agreements, publishing deals, and music-driven content transactions negotiated with labels, publishers, and rights holders.
Strategic deal structuring, first-look agreements, co-production arrangements, and platform partnerships negotiated with major streamers and studios.
Domestic and international distribution agreements, output deals, licensing windows, and platform release strategies for film and television content.
Full-service legal support for documentary production — from life rights acquisitions and clearances to sales negotiations with major streaming platforms and distributors.
Intellectual property protection, underlying rights acquisitions, option and purchase agreements, and chain-of-title analysis for all media projects.
We handle the full deal lifecycle for film and television — development agreements, option and purchase agreements, writer and director deals, producer agreements, financing structures, co-production arrangements, and distribution. Whether you are a production company packaging a prestige series or a streamer structuring a first-look deal, we have been at these tables many times before.
Our attorneys have represented studios, streamers, producers, talent, and rights holders in transactions with Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Apple, Lionsgate, and others. We bring executive-level business affairs insight to every negotiation.
Music-driven content requires specialized counsel who understands both sides of the rights equation. We negotiate synchronization and master use licenses, publishing administration agreements, artist and label deals, and music-focused production arrangements — including the complex clearance and licensing landscape for biographical and archival music content.
Our team has negotiated directly with major labels, independent publishers, and collecting societies on behalf of producers and production companies bringing music to screen at scale.
Business affairs is where law meets strategy. We structure deals, not just document them. Our principals have functioned as business affairs executives inside major studios and entertainment companies, giving us the fluency to advise clients on deal architecture, negotiating posture, and risk allocation — not just contract language.
We represent production companies, content studios, and independent creators seeking platform partnerships, first-look arrangements, and joint venture structures with major buyers.
Whether you are structuring a new content venture, negotiating a platform agreement, or need experienced counsel on a complex transaction, we are ready to help.
