Film

One of Olswang's founding practices, our Film Group is in the top echelon of the industry and is pre-eminent among practices of its kind in Europe.

We advise the film industry's most important and influential players from major US studios to UK-based producers, distributors and financiers and are proud to have contributed to the success of some of the highest-profile film projects of the last few years. We’re immersed in the industry; through our people’s involvement in key groups, film boards and councils, Olswang has helped set the agenda on many major developments in the sector and we demonstrate our commitment to the future through our long-term support of education and training.

We have unrivalled experience in multiparty deals involving producers, investors and distributors and are perfectly placed to advise on international co-production treaties, for films from blockbusters to small independent productions. Our advice also encompasses other aspects of film-making from talent representation and employment issues to sales and distribution. Backed up as it is by the rest of our Media Group's practised grasp of tax and finance issues, Olswang’s expertise in the film industry is unequalled.
