Media and Related Services

We offer legal assistance to various stakeholders within the media landscape, including publishers of traditional and online media, broadcasters, creators, producers and influencers as well as people involved in marketing, communication and advertising. Moreover, the scope of media ​​law extends beyond the media world, impacting entities completely outside this sector. Hence, our clientele also includes those affected by media outputs. We adopt a comprehensive approach to the issue of media law, considering regulatory requirements, copyright issues, personal rights, and commercial and practical aspects. Our guidance helps clients navigate this specialized environment, addressing the challenges it raises and what rights they have.

Who will be dedicated to assisting you

"My passion for music, movies and video games led me to this fascinating legal discipline. Thanks to my experience at Czech Radio and Seznam, I've come to understand that the realms of ​​television, radio, cinema and the internet operate under distinct rules. Moreover, the internet reshapes this environment almost every day. Artists will promptly gauge how much respect you have for creative mental activity. Journalists will quickly recognize if public interest is part of your DNA. And producers or distributors will value the practical knowledge of the person who is supposed to provide them with legal advice."
