Media and Entertainment Law

For media and entertainment to thrive, the market must allow fair competition, opportunities for collaboration and the ability to effectively monetise commercial property – much of which depends on strong intellectual property protection.

Media and entertainment, an inapt containment of a vast and diverse set of industries, is nearly universally the poster child of creative expression, information dissemination and economic growth. Since its inception, Anand and Anand has been a trusted media and entertainment law firm in India, supporting creators and industry leaders alike. Having worked in close collaboration with national and international performers, artists, authors, publishers, production houses, record labels, online content providers, broadcasters, advertisers and distributors, our attorneys have introduced and crystallised crucial international legal concepts in the field.

The firm represents a clientele spread across film, television, music, radio, publishing and new media. Our practices consistently devise and deliver well-researched, cost-effective and comprehensive commercial and litigation strategies for all conventional and non-conventional issues faced by our clients.

Our dedicated teams provide diverse services, including negotiations encompassing acquisition, protection, distribution and exploitation of rights; franchising and partner searches; drafting and vetting contracts and agreements; clearances and regulatory compliances, assistance regarding licensing and other ancillary issues, arbitration and mediation and civil and criminal litigation.

DUE DILIGENCE
