Clearance for film and TV

Clearance identifies and resolves, before release, anything that could turn into a legal dispute. We have hands-on experience with the delivery requirements of platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Flow and Prime Video, among others.

Reports

• Clearance reports, script clearance and music clearance reports.

Platform requirements

We manage compliance with each platform’s legal delivery or legal binder requirements.

Script review and breakdown

We review and break down scripts to flag elements that may raise legal issues —character, company, product and organization names, locations, artwork, music and material protected by copyright or registered as a trademark— and recommend the appropriate changes.

Rights research and negotiation

We identify the rights holder, reach out, negotiate terms of use and license fees, and draft the necessary material, advertising, music and trademark agreements. We also provide progress reports to the production.

Releases and permissions

We secure permissions to use likeness, voice, materials —such as artwork—, trademarks, products, music, locations and any other elements the production needs.

License agreements

We draft and negotiate license agreements that ensure the proper use of every element protected by intellectual property.
