We process content of all types for television production companies, filmmakers, broadcasters and newspapers.

Our advice is sought at any point in the production cycle from development of format to early script to a re-edit of a broadcast programme for DVD distribution.

Liabilities can arise from libel, copyright, privacy and beyond. No genre can be considered immune. We would say that, [we hear you say] but of course if you are in a low risk area, we will say so. For example, in a recent Errors and Omissions application, we reviewed the history of the participants and the insurers were happy to give cover for a live series on the basis of an agreed procedure alone - so it is not always about running up a huge number of chargeable hours [ that's for John Grisham novels].

In Broadcasting over recent years, with the introduction of new terms of trade, the retention of rights by producers has been accompanied by greater legal responsibility. It is now even more important to properly assess the legal profile of your work. If you are familiar with this process, we are happy to look at your project and talk about how we might help. If they are new problems, we will explain how we work and what we do before you have to make any decisions on legal support.
