- What does production counsel do?
- Production counsel is the lawyer who guides a film, show, or content project through its legal requirements from pre-production to delivery. We paper talent and crew deals, secure and clear rights, handle location and release agreements, and manage errors-and-omissions and delivery obligations. We are the legal backbone that keeps a production on schedule and deliverable.
- How does PARRON LAW serve as production counsel?
- We embed with productions to handle the full legal workflow behind a project. That includes chain-of-title and rights work, talent and vendor agreements, clearances, and the paperwork distributors and insurers require at delivery. Our entertainment experience means we anticipate the issues that surface at financing and delivery, not just at the start.
- When should I hire production counsel?
- Hire production counsel before principal photography, ideally during development, so rights and paperwork are handled from day one. Bringing counsel in late means scrambling to fix clearance and chain-of-title gaps under deadline pressure. Early involvement keeps the production insurable, financeable, and deliverable.
