We help our leading-edge clients stay on top of this competitive industry.

The Nigerian media and entertainment industry has an estimated value of US$4 billion and is growing rapidly, with a significant part of the growth in this sector being led by the private sector. Nollywood, Nigeria’s movie industry, was born in 1992 with a US$12,000 straight-to-video movie and has surpassed Hollywood as the world’s second-largest movie industry, right behind India’s Bollywood. Thanks to creative young Nigerian artists, similar growth is also being seen in the music industry, with Nigerian artists gaining more recognition and winning awards outside the country.

Our sports personalities are equally high profile and have recorded outstanding achievements in various sporting endeavours, most notably in football, gaining international fans. It’s our business to help our Nigerian and international clients who are involved in film production, screenplay, writing, talent hunting, talent management and publishing to realise their creative visions and corporate goals and to protect their valuable assets. Clients seek us out for our experience in this sector.

Our clients are on the leading edge of the media and entertainment industries and our advice in the sector is varied, covering broadcast licensing, regulations, the provision of content, services and technology relied on by clients for the delivery of services and goods, and various commercial arrangements. We have negotiated complex transactions on behalf of companies and investors in the sector.

Our multidisciplinary team of media lawyers provides unrivalled commercial and legal know-how to prominent media, entertainment and communications companies, celebrities, investors and others in Nigeria and worldwide.
