Media and Entertainment Disputes

 

We work with clients across the Media, Entertainment and Creative Industries and understand the financial and reputational impact legal disputes can often cause, and the resultant cost to resolve once they arise.

 

The cost of bringing a claim or defending an action can be significant and with the ever evolving world of technology and digital music, the exposure our clients face is expanding, which can often affect a corporate brand, a career, an image or an individual.

 

Over the years, Maxima have worked with well-known bands, artists, songwriters, media companies and celebrities, who have had a need for funding, or have just preferred to utilise external funding for their legal costs and expenses rather than utilise their own income.

 

Confidentiality, and making sure we understand our clients’ circumstances and requirements is paramount to us, and a vital part of the service we offer at Maxima. For details on how third party funding works, please speak to Vanessa Andrews or see our Third Party Funding page.

 

 

Media and Entertainment Protection Cover

 

It is always best to protect yourself or your company in the first place from the inherent litigation risks of the Media & Entertainment Industry. Through Maxima we have access to specialist and comprehensive insurance products to protect you or your company in the event you need to defend a claim being brought against you. Claims could stem from a number of risks but to name a few:

 

•   Defamation including Libel & Slander   •   Invasion of Privacy   •   Cyber & Privacy Liability   •   Intellectual Property Infringement   •   Data Hacking   •   Advertising and Personal Injury   •   Comprehensive Media Liability   •   Breach of Contract   •   Blanket Professional Indemnity

 

As an individual, any claim that affects your reputation or privacy could have immediate and long term career implications, so having the protection of an insurance policy to pay your legal costs provides peace of mind as well as financial assistance.

 

As a business, as well as the exposure of reputational damage, with the expansion and increasing reliance on technology, the risk of suffering a loss related to problems with computer systems or holding sensitive customer data continues to grow. If your business retains personal information on clients or customers, including names, addresses, bank details and other sensitive data any damage or unauthorised access could lead to legal and regulatory costs as well as reputational damage. This could affect your business’ ability to defend any claims, if you do not have insurance protection in place.
