Media & Entertainment
Media & Entertainment has been important in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg since as early as 1931, the year in which the famous Luxembourg radio station RTL was founded. Since that date, Luxembourg and some of its long established corporations have continuously innovated in media, film production, broadcasting and mobile broadband services. Today, one of the world's pre-eminent satellite operators acts out of Luxembourg and in the Internet business and online entertainment, almost all of the leading businesses and high profile players have their platforms in Luxembourg, which offers them the necessary favorable tax environment.
In the Media & Entertainment business, the clients’ needs for legal advice typically cover regulatory questions, competition matters, licensing issues and contractual matters as well. On top of this extremely broad range of expertise, the advisors which these clients are looking for must keep up to date with all the new developments in technology and have a considerable understanding of new online products and services, as well as their underlying technologies.
In the early years of our law firm, we were advising local professionals and businesses for their advertising, marketing and publicity campaigns through local radio and broadcasting means. Since more recent years, we also advise in relation to broadcasting, licensing and regulatory issues, and we have assisted international key players in the establishment of their Internet platforms for media, music and entertainment online services via Luxembourg, while also covering the corporate and contractual structuring for these new businesses into Luxembourg.
