Media and Entertainment
The idea that the media and entertainment industry requires specific legal cover is because it is a niche that has many special features. This means that lawyers must take a broader view in order to understand how the industry works in detail and must be able to cover certain practices that are specific to the cultural and creative industry. Our section aims to provide support in the best interests of those companies and individuals that operate in the media and the entertainment industry, such as advertising agencies, radio and TV stations, record labels and publishers, producers, streaming services, digital influencers, etc.
The Media and Entertainment Law team at Cabanellos Advocacia has solid experience, excellent skills and a keen legal eye, enabling it to keep abreast of the latest demands from an increasingly interconnected world, and to attend to the legal needs of our clients, safely and reliably, by providing advice on issues of varying degrees of complexity.
