Entertainment

In the entertainment industry, a robust legal framework is essential to ensure both corporate governance and the protection of assets. At our firm, we offer integrated solutions that combine Corporate, Tax, Intellectual Property, and Contract Law, always tailored to the specific needs of this dynamic and competitive sector.

In the field of Corporate Law, we structure everything from simpler entities – such as talent agencies, influencers, branding agencies, and social media management firms – to more sophisticated ones involving foreign partners and multiple investors, such as audiovisual production companies, advertising agencies, music publishers, and content distributors. Our work goes beyond the formation of companies, also covering the drafting of shareholder agreements, corporate restructurings, and the implementation of corporate governance practices that ensure legal security and business continuity.

In the Tax sphere, our Entertainment Group provides specialized advisory services to a wide range of players – from agencies, production companies, sponsors, and distributors to artists, non-profit institutions, sports clubs, SAFs, and athletes. We work on operations involving the import and export of equipment and services, tax regularization of financial flows, and the application of key incentive mechanisms that promote the sector. Additionally, our experience extends to defending clients’ interests in administrative and judicial proceedings, challenging undue demands, and recovering overpaid taxes, especially in contracts involving foreign artists.

Aware that creativity must flow without barriers, we seek to protect and monetize our clients’ Intellectual Property assets. We assist in defining limits and restrictions from the conception to the execution of projects, mitigating risks and anticipating future negotiations. We negotiate licensing contracts that ensure fair compensation, enabling not only the expected financial return but also the viability of new ventures.

Finally, recognizing the complexity of Contracts in the sector – ranging from co-production and music licensing agreements to talent partnerships – we structure negotiations that ensure a balance between rights and obligations, as well as regulatory compliance. Content analysis and clearance, with special attention to personality rights and freedom of expression, are essential to prevent conflicts in audiovisual, sports, and music productions. When disputes arise, our strategic approach and mediation between the various market players promote swift solutions aligned with commercial interests.

Thus, FeA – Media, Entertainment, and Culture consolidates a complete portfolio of legal solutions, integrating corporate structuring, tax, and intellectual property protection, as well as strategic mediation and regulatory compliance. This synergy between the areas strengthens the safe, innovative, and sustainable development of the industry, ensuring that creativity and investments are protected at every stage of the projects.

The transformation, restructuring and recovery of companies have proven to be essential to ensure the continuity and sustainable growth of businesses, especially in highly dynamic sectors such as entertainment and sports. In football, for example, the Football Corporations (SAFs) model has driven a wave of strategic restructuring, attracting investors and promoting greater professionalization of management. Our firm is prepared to advise clubs, investors and other agents in the sports market on restructuring liabilities, renegotiating contracts and implementing new corporate structures, ensuring legal certainty and financial sustainability for these operations.
