Our Studios Group has industry leading experience acting on all legal aspects of real estate transactions relating to film and television studios. We have established ourselves as one of a very few go-to firms for studios clients seeking to commence or expand their activity in the UK.
We offer a cohesive, well-balanced and co-ordinated team that is partner-led and genuinely enthused about the many aspects of studio ownership and operation. We have excellent working relationships with the leading property agents and our experience shows that working collaboratively with existing teams on issues such as location, size of space and specification will help to ensure that the project runs on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to the client’s day-to-day business.
In addition to core Real Estate, we offer a complete service across all property disciplines including Construction, Planning, Real Estate Tax, Property Litigation, Finance and Corporate. We have strong experience in acting for both occupiers and production companies, as well as investors, developers and operators.
