TV /FILM PRODUCTION LAWYER
BASED DUBAI
3-4 YEARS’ PQE+
Our client is the largest satellite TV, Radio and VOD/Digital network in the MENA region.
The business is based in Dubai Media City and is looking for a junior–mid level lawyer to join them at an extremely exciting time.
After the successful launch of the studio side of the business they have ambitious growth plans which will see the furthering of an already impressive slate.
They are looking for an established TV Production lawyer with a minimum of 3 years’ pqe who will report into the Director of Legal and sit in a medium sized legal team.
Day to day this person will be responsible for negotiating, drafting, and reviewing a wide range of legal documentation necessary to produce full length feature films and big budget TV series, and providing legal and business affairs advice and support to the Studios and the Director of Legal to support its creativity, innovation, new talent and ‘cutting edge’ feature film and television production.
You will be a qualified film and television lawyer, with demonstrable expertise in acquiring underlying rights, production, and co-production deals, ideally with experience also of working under USA union terms (including SAG, IATSE, WGA and DGA). Knowledge of distribution deals is useful though not essential. You will have excellent drafting skills and be a confident communicator and team player.
This role will be based in Dubai and will require a move to live there on a permanent basis.
The salary and benefits for this role are incredibly competitive. The business is truly international with a multi-cultural working environment. You will join a supportive, warm and welcoming team.
