Media & Entertainment | UK

The section caters to clients in the media industry in respect of contentious and non-contentious matters. We rank firms for specialist expertise in film and television, advertising and marketing, music, theatre, publishing and gaming and social media. Individuals are ranked relative to one another by specialism. 

Non-contentious work as covered by this section may include production, financing and distribution concerns, as well as IP, licensing and supplementary rights planning. 
 

Types of disputes in this area are many, and may include copyright and contractual litigation (e.g. on behalf of studios, producers, publishing houses or talent), matters arising from film finance, comparative advertising and ASA disputes. 

Please note that defamation actions are not considered in this table; please refer to the Defamation/Reputation Management section. It does, however, consider matters concerning pre-publication clearance, reporting restrictions and press regulation.
