Introduction

Drawing on a deep understanding of the fast-evolving entertainment industry and its distinct culture, the Media & Entertainment Team advises on legal risk across the full content lifecycle, from development and production to distribution and exploitation. The team counsels on a wide range of matters, including artist and agency relationships such as exclusive contracts and tampering issues, protection of intellectual property in film, music and live performance, copyright clearance for scripts and audiovisual works, and labor and safety issues arising on sets and at venues. It also provides integrated advice on tax risk assessments and tax disputes for single-artist agencies, M&A and corporate matters involving entertainment companies, cross-border transactions, and employment issues, bringing together lawyers, accountants and other professionals across disciplines. The team is also at the forefront of emerging legal issues in new technology, including copyright ownership of AI-generated content and compensation for training data, and supports clients with strategic, discreet and effective solutions that protect both business interests and reputation as K-content continues to expand globally.
