Haiwen began its pioneering entertainment and media law practice back in the mid-1990s. Against the backdrop of rapid development of the Chinese enter-tainment and media industry over the past decades and through persistent and dedicated efforts, the firm has built a leading entertainment law practice in China that is domestically and internationally recognized. Our team consists of professionals working from our Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong offices. We provide extensive legal services covering a wide variety of areas, including the development of film and television projects, Sino-foreign film/TV co-produc-tions, investment and financing of film projects (including complicated produc-tion financing, slate financing, and outbound investments), and formation of production and financing vehicles, as well as large theme park projects, sound recording, music copyright management, talent management, advertisement, and new media matters.

Our clients include major Hollywood studios and leading production, distribution and investment companies in the United States, Europe and Greater China, as well as top performers, producers, and directors.

Combined with our strength in capital market and M&A areas, Haiwen also provides extensive legal services to clients conducting M&A, IPO, and other general corporate finance transactions in the entertainment industry.
