The entertainment and media industry has seen multiple transformations - from analogue and portable storage to the digitisation and streaming of audio and visual recordings; from print to digital books, newspapers and magazines; from user payment streams and content access restrictions to eyeball advertising revenue streams favouring free and viral content access; from live to virtual entertainment during the last pandemic. New entertainment genres have emerged - podcasts, MMO gaming, user-generated content, social media, and real-time viewer interaction. Our team has over the years helped diverse entertainment and media clients to manage their contract relationships, liability and compliance risks, intellectual property protection and enforcement, while they continue to navigate and exploit these transitions.
