FILM, TV AND THEATRE
We believe that to be commercially successful in creative arts, you need to be credible. Establishing credibility can be tricky. When starting out you may not have much in the way of a track record to demonstrate that you can deliver your idea or production. More often than not understanding the commercial landscape, how you will be financed, what rights you need to clear, these are all matters a co-production partner, commissioner or finance partner will want to see. As your advisor, we will guide you through the often complex commercial and legal issues that you may face, and we will do so clearly and in a manner that you will understand. Whether you are writing a script, producing your first film or pitching a new format, we can provide sensible and practical legal advice, affording you the space both creatively and practically, to get your production off the ground.
DIGITAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY
As a team, we have grown up in a business which has been turned upside down by technology. Everywhere you turn to, be it production, distribution or consumption has been remodelled by technology. Our experience in this sector and the advice we provide has come from personal experience including working in tech startups and being pitched to as part of business development teams. Our expertise sits mainly at the intersection of media and entertainment. We provide commercial advice and guidance to assist streaming platforms, mobile app developers, game developers, web app developers, tech innovators, entrepreneurs and more in achieving their commercial goals.
CORPORATE
Whether you are setting up a new business, acquiring an existing business, admitting a new shareholder, seeking Angel investment or undertaking a seed round, we can assist and advise you. We can also advise on structuring and financing IP acquisitions, specifically in the music business. We can connect buyers with sources of funding through a network of capital advisory relationships we have developed.
