We represent creative talent and production companies in television and motion pictures: producers, writers, directors and actors. We also represent musicians, theatrical productions, live events, athletes, publishers and new technology and new media innovators in maximizing the value of their most prized assets – talent and intellectual property. Our broad and sophisticated understanding of the value chain available to a client from those assets and the avoidance and/or resolution of the disputes that may arise along the way can make a significant difference to the success of our clients.
