ENTERTAINMENT LAW

At JGA ABOGADOS, we deliver specialized entertainment law services designed to support the legal, creative, and commercial needs of professionals and companies across the film, television, digital content, and theatre industries. Our practice is built on deep sector knowledge, international reach, and a proactive approach to emerging legal challenges in the creative economy.

We advise on all legal aspects of motion pictures—from development and financing to production, distribution, and international exploitation. Our team drafts and negotiates key agreements including option and rights acquisition, co-production and investment deals, talent and crew contracts, music and archival licenses, and international distribution arrangements. We also offer comprehensive support for live performance and theatre, assisting playwrights, producers, directors, and venues in managing performance rights, stage adaptation agreements, cast and creative team contracts, royalty structures, and regulatory compliance for public presentations and tours.

As the entertainment industry evolves, we are at the forefront of developing legal frameworks and tools to address the challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This includes advising clients on the protection of works generated or transformed by AI, negotiating clauses related to the use of AI in production and postproduction workflows, and implementing risk mitigation strategies to preserve authorship, copyright, and personality rights in digital environments.

With over a decade of experience and more than 150 productions advised, JGA ABOGADOS combines legal precision with strategic insight to protect the creative and economic interests of our clients—now and in the future.
