Film

The Film Group at Sheridans is widely regarded as one of the leading practices in Europe. Sheridans represents a wide variety of Oscar winning producers as well as some of the brightest new UK talent, a number of the industry's best known financiers, distributors and sales agents, and UK government institutions.

As well as advising on regulatory issues, Sheridans' lawyers also help their clients to access incoming investment, and then identify and achieve their strategic objectives. The firm's lawyers think of themselves as an extension of their clients' businesses and so an integrated part of each transaction. On the transactional side of the Sheridans' practice, each lawyer is involved in every stage from development, to financing and production, through to exploitation. They have particular expertise in multi-party cross-border film financing transactions. 

The firm's foundations are quality and excellence of service and advice, combined with the empowerment of their clients.

The group's lawyers have recently advised on a number of films including the following: Slumdog Millionaire, Mamma Mia!, The Iron Lady, 360, Great Expectations, Byzantium, Pusher, The Sweeney, Romeo & Juliet, and The Numbers Station.
