Media & Entertainment

The Indian Media & Entertainment industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by digital transformation, rising consumer demand, and regulatory shifts. With increasing internet penetration and evolving content consumption patterns, India has emerged as a global hub for gaming, digital media, OTT platforms, VFX, and film production. The sector’s expansion is further supported by policy initiatives such as FDI liberalization in broadcasting and regulations in online gaming and digital content.

Our expertise spans content structuring, regulatory compliance, intellectual property protection, talent contracts, licensing agreements, and dispute resolution. We assist gaming companies, production houses, OTT platforms, and content creators in navigating legal complexities while ensuring regulatory adherence.

Our team has advised on high-stakes transactions, strategic acquisitions, and cross-border deals, helping clients structure licensing, distribution, and co-production agreements. We also specialize in tendering of media rights, digital rights management, anti-piracy strategies, and content moderation policies, ensuring seamless operations in an evolving legal landscape. With a deep understanding of sectoral challenges, the Firm is specialised in delivering practical, business-driven legal solutions for the dynamic Indian media and entertainment industry.
