Our client is a leading entertainment studio with a diversified presence in film, television, home entertainment and video-on-demand. Propelled by recent hits, the Group has continued to grow revenues year on year. It is a perennial contender for major awards, earning a raft of accolades in the past ten years.
Our client is now looking for a bright and dynamic media paralegal to join the company on a 12 month contract initially. There is however a very strong likelihood that the role will go permanent at the end of this period. Reporting to the Head of Legal, this is a highly visible role both internally and externally. You will work closely with the MD and heads of department of the business, as well as have an opportunity to build a strong network within the film and TV world.
A sample of your responsibilities includes:
- drafting and negotiating a range of media, production and distribution agreements, to include theatrical agreements (with supervision)
- Working closely with the MD and Head of Legal on all manner of legal & business affairs activities from digital media exploitation to sales and distribution of content (SVOD, VOD) across different genres
- liaising with external legal advisers, studios and producers
- managing clip licenses
- company secretarial duties (e.g. filing returns)
- rights management of client content
The ideal candidate will have excellent academics and a law degree or a law conversion course and LPC, as well as solid commercial/IP/ media paralegal experience in a law firm and/ or in-house setting (preferably film and/or TV distribution).
This is a highly visible and unusual role and will appeal to a spirited and confident paralegal who is looking for a challenging, varied and highly rewarding career with a market leader in the media field.
Candidates who have a demonstrable passion for (and appetite for learning about) the film and television industry will recognise this as an amazing, unparalleled opportunity in the market.
Interested Candidates should forward their CV to our exclusively retained consultant, Sinead Flanagan, at Sinead@kinsellaziegler.com
