Film and Television Deal Counsel for Modern Content Pipelines
A core strength of our practice is the deep industry experience our team brings to helping clients navigate the film and television value chain.
Film and television transactions remain the engine of the entertainment industry, even as financing, release strategies and monetization models evolve. Our lawyers work with investors, producers, content creators and distributors across the entire content lifecycle, from development, financing and production through distribution and ongoing commercialization.
Sheppard handles matters involving scripted and unscripted series, feature films, documentaries and short-form vertical content, from those intended for theatrical release or broadcast to those made for streaming, digital and emerging platforms. We represent major studios and global platforms as well as independent producers, financiers and international partners on the agreements that enable content creation and delivery.
