  • Check rights availability

  • Help manage delivery, including schedules and materials, liaising with producers, post houses and buyers

What you’ll bring

  • Legal training (SQE, LPC, or qualified solicitor or barrister) or solid hands-on contracts or business affairs experience

  • Entertainment industry experience, ideally in film/TV sales, distribution, or production legal and business affairs

  • The confidence to work independently, manage several live matters at once, and turn documents around quickly

  • A strong degree or academic record

How it works
 Your days and hours will be flexible, and we will agree a pattern that suits you. You will report to the Head of Legal & Business Affairs and work day to day with them and our sales executives. It suits someone conscientious, quick-thinking and collaborative who enjoys the pace of live deals and agreements.
