Our approach is to form a close professional relationship with each client. This assists us to gain an in-depth understanding of the business issues and the commercial context in which our clients deal with them.

A combination of legal skills and industry knowledge enables us to identify the risks facing our clients before we recommend business-based legal solutions.

Depending on our client’s needs and desired outcomes, we next apply the necessary legal resources to achieve those goals in the most cost-effective and time-efficient manner.

In all cases we work with our clients to carefully scope the legal work required and we then prepare detailed and accurate fee estimates.

Our team has worked on major local and international film and television projects including “Knowing”, “Sanctum”, “Zigby”, “Zeke’s Pad”, “Enyo”, “Master Raindrop”, “Lucky Miles”, “The Starter Wife”, “Bastard Boys”, “Rescue Special Ops”, “Tripping Over”, “East of Everything” and “Oranges and Sunshine”. We have also assisted a range of independent producers, broadcasters and government agencies including Screen Australia, Screen NSW, Film Victoria, ACTF and ACMI.
