T.V. & Film

At an early stage of a film or television project, it is essential to ensure that rights are properly acquired and protected. The structure must work, and the appropriate contracts must be in place. CL&B provides exactly the essential, practical, informed, and cost-effective advice on copyright, options, and development. We also advise filmmakers and production companies on their dealings with investors, creative talent and crew. 

We have extensive experience advising a leading production company who are collaborating with global music artists under a groundbreaking new business model, jointly creating career-defining cinematic spectacles that intertwine once-in-a-lifetime live concert thrills in an incredible location with immersive documentary storytelling, with CL&B expertly handling the complex business affairs at all steps of the process.  

We can assist with music clearance and guide clients through negotiations with agents and distributors. We have acted for independent filmmakers working on limited or “micro” budgets. CL&B represents screenwriters in relation to their contractual dealings with production companies, including option and co-producer agreements. 

Meanwhile, we have clients who are successfully forging a career as influencers or are using TikTok and Instagram or other social media as platforms to monetize their endeavours. 

With our music industry expertise, CL&B is ideally positioned to advise on soundtrack deals and music clearance services.

We can also provide music supervision services (in conjunction with experienced music supervisors).

In conjunction with our associates, we can provide expert advice on securing and formalising funding and finance.

CL&B also represents clients who have created TV formats as they seek development. A growing body of talent has sought CL&B’s advice on establishing their own service and production companies.

In addition, CL&B is adept at working with companies that create production music for film and trailer use.
