Overview

SCHMITSPARTNERS is a law firm providing legal services and strategic advice to business owners and entrepreneurs. With our hands-on approach we excel in industries that we personally know best: TV & Media, Sports, Fashion and Entertainment. We share the passion for your business as we are serial entrepreneurs ourselves. This mindset means maximum efficiency. On a case by case basis, we can be either academic, nimble or demanding – sometimes it takes just one phone call for us to fix everything. Our team has been internationally trained and is highly experienced. In Magic Circle city firms, mid-size partnerships and in-house positions, we have learned that it does matter in which way good advice is delivered. Therefore, we always ensure direct access and easy communication with us. We write and speak in plain language and focus on practical relevance. We are best when it comes to the intangible: The creation, marketing and enforcement of rights. We are assisting in everything from the drafting and negotiation of contracts to the legal challenges in commercial business and corporate transactions and acquisitions. We have acquired a unique status when it comes to bringing broadcasters from outside of Europe into the EU. We also know from our own TV projects, which EU regulatory regime is the best fit for which channel and program. We are currently focusing on UK based channels that will potentially need a new regulatory seat after BREXIT. For more details see our dedicated website www.crossbordertv.com Another focus is the rapidly converging sports tech entertainment industry. Games are secured by insurance experts, transmission rights are sold to channels, web-applications are metered for usage. These areas are all highly familiar to our team, often from businesses we are personally engaged in. From our offices in Munich, London and Malta we advise nationally and internationally as cross-border-cases are our daily business.
