Key types of work

Writers, directors, and production companies

We work with writers, directors, and indies of all shapes and sizes on dramas, comedies, films, and magazine shows. From production level agreements to commissioning deals or booking talent, we’ll help you finalise deals in this tricky and competitive market.

You’ll need to carve up the rights to your production, agreeing things like pre-sales, exclusivity, and DVD rights. It can be a difficult negotiating process, and you need advisers who understand the value of what you’re working with. Our Intellectual Property team will work with you on tightening up your copyrights, helping you protect what you’ve created. Because we’ve worked in-house, we understand how to do this in the best way.

Broadcasters and distributors

If you’re a broadcaster, we can advise you on production level agreements, as well as advertising and regulatory rules, or HR and talent contracts.
