In the rapidly changing technological environment and the opening of various satellite channels and developments in the communication sector, it has become imperative to ensure that documents governing the rights of parties are prepared meticulously. Such documents should be drafted after taking into consideration all the relevant laws, leaving no scope for ambiguity, and allowing for such documents to be enforceable in a court of law in order to obtain injunctive/restrictive orders on an urgent basis, when required.

In India the entertainment industry has widened its spectrum, not only nationally but also internationally. Recently, the Government of India has accorded the "Industry" status to the Film fraternity, thereby paving the way for the film industry to take loans from financial institutions and banks. Various issues required to be tackled by the entertainment industry like its organization, financial issues, taxation aspects, contracts, etc., have to be well thought of, before an individual/entity enters into the sphere of the entertainment industry. The Firm provides advice and assistance related to the entertainment industry, including drafting of key contracts and providing advice relevant to the entertainment sector to its clients.
