US‑based clients represent a substantial part of our practice. We represent the major US motion picture studios and mini-majors, alongside games developers and publishers, sports rights holders, tech businesses, brands and the financiers who fund them.
We are regularly instructed by US clients on deals and disputes with a UK or EU element, particularly where our sector knowledge is critical.
We understand the commercial frameworks US clients are familiar with and the pace at which they work.
Our lawyers regularly work across time zones and are used to collaborating closely with US counsel where matters involve multiple jurisdictions.
