Media, Entertainment & Live Events

We advise artists, producers, promoters, venues and media businesses on rights, contracts, releases, filming, live events and disputes.

Project and rights chain

A live project is a network of commitments

The legal structure has to align rights, participants, money, publicity, delivery and contingency planning.

Performance, image, music, content and permitted uses.

Commercial responsibility, production obligations and approvals.

Access, technical requirements, safety, cancellation and liability.

Brand use, media rights, distribution and promotional commitments.

Ticketing, consumer terms, permits and local requirements.

Project lifecycle

The legal focus changes as the project moves from preparation to delivery and, if necessary, response.

Rights, participants, venues, production responsibilities, approvals and commercial terms.

Delivery, credits, payments, use of content, audience and operational issues.

Cancellation, refund, rights, evidence, notices and a workable dispute route.

Selected experience

Licensing, franchising, royalties, trade marks and transfers of intellectual-property rights across several markets.

Renewal, termination and reimbursement issues under a cross-border agency agreement.

A transaction-led review of parties, authority, performance, payment, liability, governing law and dispute resolution.

How contract, facts, evidence, quantum, applicable law and delivery combine into a credible cross-border claim.
