Entertainment Law Editing and Proofreading Services

Entertainment deals are documented in layers, and every layer is eventually audited. Before a film is financed or a catalogue is sold, someone reviews the chain of title looking for the gap — the option that lapsed, the writer's agreement that was never countersigned, the composer who was engaged by email and never assigned anything. A single missing document can stall a production or kill a sale.

We edit option and purchase agreements, writer, director, and talent agreements, production and co-production agreements, distribution and licensing deals, music synchronisation and master use licences, clearance and release forms, chain-of-title documents, and credit provisions. Our editors check that titles, entity names, and defined terms are identical across every document in the chain, and that dates and terms in the agreements match the ones recited in the chain-of-title opinion.

Credit provisions cause more disagreement than almost anything else in this field. Size, position, placement, paid ads, and exclusions need to be stated precisely, because they will be checked frame by frame by someone's representative.

We treat unreleased projects as strictly confidential. We do not alter deal terms — we make sure every document in the stack agrees with all the others.
