Weil’s work in this sector continues to set the pace in a world that has become increasingly brand-focused, high-tech, high-speed, digital and social. This evolution presents significant legal challenges with broad ramifications that test the boundaries of copyright trademark, misappropriation, as well as First Amendment law and even general commercial litigation, as never before.
We also serve as a trusted advisor on the largest and highest profile deals in the industry. Weil has extensive experience working with international media and entertainment companies and investors in transactions as diverse as mergers and acquisitions and related financings, cross-border transactions, spin-offs, IPOs, intellectual property licensing and counseling, royalty, debt and equity offerings and restructurings. Our experience encompasses all areas of global media, publishing and telecommunications in matters of industry-wide significance. Our media and entertainment transactional practice involves particularly close collaboration among our M&A and Private Equity, Capital Markets and Technology & IP Transactions practices.
