About

Provided by Dentons Canada LLP

Dentons has the largest media and entertainment practice in Canada with the largest number of lawyers who are recognized by Lexpert and Best Lawyers as leading entertainment lawyers in Canada.

Whether it’s a complicated tax structure, a unique funding arrangement, a complex distribution deal or the drafting of a multi-party service contract, the North American sports and entertainment industry and its funders know that, in Canada, Dentons has the unique technical strength and experience they need. The deals we love are the ones no one has worked through before.

Effective tax planning is critical to cross-border transactions in any industry. Dentons Canada has a unique depth of tax experience in the media, entertainment and sports industries.

Many aspects of the entertainment industries are subject to federal and provincial regulation. We have considerable experience in dealing with Canadian Heritage, CAVCO, Creative BC, Ontario Media Development Corporation, SODEC and other regulators. We have also been centrally involved in the creation and the evolution of the film and video tax credits in Canada and the leading production provinces.

All this is backed by the depth and breadth of a full-service, forward-thinking global firm. We think like business people and involve lawyers from our offices around the world who can best help our clients achieve their objectives.
