Practical Examples
Our services
We operate like an in-house business affairs department and can handle all stages of the deal making and contracting process. This includes:
- Advice on commercial terms and deal structure;
- Negotiation;
- Drafting and document review;
- Management of process (following up, chasing responses, providing management reporting and information)
- Post contract management (deal summaries, circulation, deal follow up points)
Practical Examples – How we can help you
We generally work in small teams with one person in the UK or US and one person in India who are primary contacts. That way you are always dealing with the same person and there is always someone available to help you. Other members of the team provide support to these primary contacts as required.
If necessary other members of the team can also assist and for longer term work we can hire more people specifically suited to your needs.
The following illustrates how we can help you in practice in a number of different examples.
- Example 1: Day to day support for a production company
- Example 2: Acquisition of a film library (large one off transaction)
- Example 3: Providing the service of a full business affairs department for a film and TV distributor/content aggregator
- Example 4: Providing all business affairs work for an independent film
Alex’s knowledge of the film and TV business means he understands what is important to both parties and comes up with creative solutions that work for everyone.
