The ever-increasing complexity of the Sports, Entertainment and Media industry makes it susceptible to disputes. Disputes often arise in relation to the following
• film production and financing
• distribution and marketing of media
• media buying agreements and campaigns
• joint ventures
• publishing
• internet related agreements
• advertising
• defamation and malicious falsehood
• sponsorship and promotion agreements
• exploitation of major sporting events
These disputes often have profound and far-reaching effects. The segmentation of rights and the variety of ways to exploit them, whether in relation to the film or digital media, sport or music, has led to an increasingly complex and multifaceted environment where the co-operation of participants is crucial to the success of a project.
