Film & Television

Film – all that is right

Feature films, series, documentaries, shows – legal support for productions ranges from the acquisition of material or format rights to distribution and licensing agreements. It includes financing the production through subsidies and private investors, the legal structuring as an in-house, commissioned or co-production, and the many production-related contracts from script to editing, taking into account not only copyright and personality rights, but also special features of labour and social security law.

We support national and international productions for cinema, television or direct-to-video with in-depth legal expertise and many years of experience – in structuring the production, drafting and negotiating contracts, and in court in enforcing and defending your rights.
