Practice Areas
With over 25 years of experience advising on the full life cycle of film and TV content, Gráinne has been a key player in the industry, working on some of the biggest film and TV productions of the last two decades. She has held senior roles at Working Title and NBCU International before joining Wiggin LLP as a partner in 2015. Her client roster spans major US film and TV studios, streaming platforms, and independent production companies across the UK, US, and Europe.
“Working with such a diverse range of clients allows me to engage with every aspect of the film and TV industries. I understand the distinct commercial needs of producers, talent, financiers, broadcasters, and distributors, whether in the studio system or the independent sector. This broad perspective enables me to close successful, pragmatic deals through a clear and collaborative process.”
In addition to her expertise in film and TV, Gráinne also advises on theatre and immersive experiences. She is dedicated to promoting diversity within the industry, serving as a Board Trustee for “Into Film,” the UK’s leading educational film charity. Her recent released production credits include Downton Abbey franchise films, Nosferatu, Lee, A Small Light, Industry, Culprits, Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, Tár, We Are Lady Parts, and One Love.
