Media & Entertainment Associate 2+ PQE
London | 2+ PQE | Leading Media & Technology Practice
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Associate to join one of London's leading specialist teams operating across interactive entertainment, gaming, digital media, technology and the creative industries .
The team acts for an impressive mix of established international businesses, developers, publishers, studios, platforms, rights holders, content creators and emerging companies operating at the forefront of the digital and creative economy.
This is a particularly strong opportunity for a lawyer who enjoys commercial contracts and intellectual property , but wants their practice to sit much closer to the media, entertainment, gaming and technology sectors.
The work
The successful Associate will advise on a broad range of commercial and IP matters, potentially including:
- Game development and publishing agreements
- Commercial exploitation and licensing of intellectual property
- Software, technology and digital-content agreements
- Development, production and services agreements
- Distribution and digital exploitation arrangements
- Brand, talent, sponsorship and partnership agreements
- Interactive entertainment and digital media projects
- Esports and wider gaming-related commercial matters
- Emerging technologies, including AI and new forms of interactive content
- IP protection, ownership and commercialisation
- Supporting clients through the development, financing, launch and exploitation of creative products
The candidate
We are particularly interested in speaking with lawyers around 2-4 PQE , although strong candidates from approximately 1-5 PQE will be considered.
You are likely to have experience within one or more of:
- Commercial IP
- Media & entertainment
- Gaming / interactive entertainment
- Technology
- Digital media
- Advertising / creative industries
- Software and technology contracts
The key requirement is an ability to draft and negotiate sophisticated commercial agreements alongside a genuine interest in how intellectual property, technology and content are developed and monetised.
Why consider the opportunity?
This is a chance to build a genuinely sector-focused practice rather than working predominantly as a support function to other departments.
The firm combines high-quality City work with a notably entrepreneurial culture and offers:
- Direct exposure to highly regarded partners and industry specialists
- A client base heavily concentrated within media, entertainment, gaming, technology and the creative economy
- Considerably greater responsibility and client contact than can be available within larger traditional teams
- A relatively non-hierarchical environment
- Strong opportunities for Associates who want to develop their own market profile
- Genuine scope for accelerated progression for high performers
- A more sustainable working culture than many larger City and international practices
For a confidential discussion regarding the practice, team structure and opportunity, please get in touch.
