Today’s multi-level convergent media world, where all modes of communication and information are continually reforming to adapt to the enduring demands of technologies, has changed the way we communicate and interact. The audience is no longer a passive consumer of whatever television or radio presents. An ever-growing range of options has given them full control.
Modern media organisations must make the most of the opportunities convergence brings as well as identify and manage the risks. There’s no doubt the media market is expanding in size and complexity and with it, audiences are growing more sophisticated and demanding.
We understand the complexities of today’s media and more importantly, of tomorrow’s media challenges. Our media and technology lawyers have considerable experience across a range of media and entertainment issues. We’ve partnered with one of Queensland largest TV networks for close to 20 years.
Our experience includes advising on media and entertainment transactions such as intellectual property and character licensing, defamation, contempt and pre-publication issues, music, film production and distribution agreements, television show concept licensing and production contracts, publishing agreements and trade marks.
We advise a diverse group of clients operating in or seeking to enter an ever-changing media landscape. Our unique ability to combine expertise in intellectual property and information technology with media knowledge provides our clients with a valuable service unmatched in Australia.
Our multi-disciplinary team aligns local knowledge with national and international experience and can be mobilised at short notice to provide expert, timely advice in a crisis.
We have been providing legal counsel services to some media clients for nearly 20 years, regularly advising on media law issues and restrictions on publication.
Our industry knowledge, in a rapidly changing media environment, is something our clients have come to rely on.
