Media

We believe the distinguishing feature of our media practice is the combination of in-depth knowledge of the media industry and media transactions (such as film and TV, content distribution) with the deal flow and deal size of a leading international law firm. We work on deals which combine high-quality and high-value M&A with a need for detailed analysis of media contracts and assets.

Our global, cross-practice Telecommunications, Media & Technology (TMT) group has over 25 years experience in providing innovative and commercial solutions to international media corporations. The TMT group is an integrated team of lawyers in key centres across the Clifford Chance network and has regular regional and world-wide meetings, joint training programmes and know-how exchanges, ensuring that best practice in one territory is available to all lawyers throughout the firm. The group focuses on the converging areas of media (print, broadcast and digital); sport; internet; litigation; intellectual property; public policy; regulation; tax and VAT. In jurisdictions where we do not have offices we have established highly effective working relationships with leading local law firms.

The TMT group produces a range of market-leading publications for clients covering hot topics in the three sectors, for example the Communications & Media: Alerter.

We are members of relevant trade and UK Parliamentary associations and regularly provide thought-leadership on TMT issues in the media.
