MARINA BAND ADVOGADOS
BUSINESS AND LEGAL AFFAIRS

and Audiovisual Content
With a strategic focus on the project development stage, Marina Band Advogados provides specialized legal counsel in copyright and the entertainment market for the packaging of audiovisual works in cinema, TV, and streaming, ensuring that your project reaches the market protected and ready for fundraising.
Transforming an idea into a commercially viable project requires legal security to conduct agreements with the same care dedicated to the creative process. Attentive to the real pace of the entertainment ecosystem and its dynamics, we work directly on structuring and validating the Chain of Rights, organizing all contracts that prove the ownership of the project and the development of the works.
We structure business models for financing, national and international co-production, and carry out the necessary regulatory analysis to align the project with public calls and tax incentive laws.
