Recent years have seen a huge and rapid change in the media. We have witnessed the arrival of new legislation, new regulations, new social attitudes and ground breaking advances in technology. Some creative industries have struggled to keep up with the pace of change or to exploit fully the new opportunities and challenges.
These developments have led to a demand for flexible and expert legal services at a competitive cost to the client. Steeles Law responded to these changes by the formation of a specialist Media Team in 2002 consisting of an experienced team of media lawyers offering advice on both contentious and non-contentious matters to creative people and creative industries.
These include newspaper, magazine and book publishers, music publishers, advertising agencies, PR companies, television and radio production and record companies, rights organisations, new media, authors, journalists, photographers, bands and composers. Rights are the key to the success of your business and the ownership of your personality.
We advise on intellectual property rights, image rights, commercial rights and personal rights. We act for clients whose business we understand providing legal, strategic and commercial guidance in the media industry.
