Entertainment law

Entertainment law or media law is a general term for a mix of more traditional categories of law with a focus on providing legal services to the entertainment industry.

Much of the work of an entertainment law practice is transaction based, i.e. drafting contracts, negotiation and mediation. Some situations may lead to litigation or arbitration.
