We work on complex transactional and commercial deals, including M&A, litigation, antitrust and competition, regulation, intellectual property, finance, capital markets and tax – but what really sets us apart is our ability to provide our clients with commercial value in media business deals, including content distribution, production and financing.
We provide comprehensive advice on the converging areas of media, including digital platforms, broadcast channels, publishing companies, film and music producers, digital and new media companies, videogame studios and streaming services.
