You’ll work with a multinational team experienced in complex licensing across all media markets: home video, theatrical, publishing, consumer product, pharmaceuticals, sport, and music.
Our teams will guide you through potential issues, such as under-reporting, and help you improve compliance on future agreements. We work with the largest IP owners in the world - over 90% of our audits uncover underreporting.
