As new technology and billions of dollars in investment revolutionize the media and entertainment industry, we’re proud to maintain our decades-long position of leadership. That’s why Law360 honored us with its Practice Group of the Year recognition the past three years running and why The Hollywood Reporter singled us out in its 2019 Power Lawyers issue for our “outsize influence on media at a particularly critical moment.” We combine decades of experience in traditional media with a sophisticated grasp of the ever-changing digital landscape, helping established and emerging clients alike develop, acquire, protect, distribute, and monetize content across all platforms.
The legal terrain in which media and entertainment companies operate today has been shaped with significant influence from Davis Wright Tremaine. Our lawyers have played a central role in many of the most important, precedent-setting cases affecting rights of free expression, content ownership, access to public records, and other vital issues. This groundbreaking work continues today in trial and appellate courts around the country.
