The media and entertainment sector, including the gaming industry, have undergone significant transformation.
New technologies and platforms are changing the way in which content is created, distributed and consumed, giving rise to innovative business models developed by emerging players.
Digital technologies, data, new content production and distribution models (notably based on interactive, immersive and augmented reality technology), connectivity and new equipment have triggered an evolution in the media sector’s traditional models, shifting towards a more direct relationship with consumers (streaming, podcasts, videos on request, digital advertising, etc.).
New media and entertainment formats, resulting from evolving technologies, inevitably raise legal and regulatory questions.
Our team’s experience and know-how allow us to assist companies operating in the media and entertainment sector on all fronts, e.g. navigating the legal challenges associated with content production, compliance and regulatory issues, the launch of new products and services, and matters of a corporate or strategic nature.
VdA has a team with extensive experience advising different relevant players in the media and entertainment sector in all VdA Legal Partners jurisdictions.
