Media law

Information exchange, transmission, acquisition or simply "entertainment" - unthinkable without media. Through the press, radio, television, film and via the Internet, explosive news is disseminated, opinions are formed or simply communicated and entertained.

On the one hand, the content aspects are of course subject to certain specifications, but on the other hand a watertight (also legal) protection is also required from a technical point of view. Media law is a cross-sectional matter with shares of copyright, competition, press, publishing and broadcasting law, telecommunications and data protection law, into which the communication freedoms guaranteed by the Basic Law also play a role. We help you to maintain an overview and to avoid all legal pitfalls - or to use them to your advantage.

We advise in the run-up to contract negotiations with production companies or artists, draw up licence agreements and review submitted drafts. We defend your rights by issuing warnings and - if necessary - by taking legal action, examining counterstatements or demanding such action. In addition, we check your online offer for compliance with the relevant media law regulations.
