“Film Reform in Focus – the Diversity Advisory Board”. Our annual panel with Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein on the occasion of the Hamburg Film Festival was one of the liveliest and best events in recent years. Thank you for the great moderation and the strong opinions of all participants.

Press law and freedom of speech
The Hamburg media law boutique specializes in press law and freedom of speech, in particular the review of manuscripts and scripts. It therefore has excellent contacts to the local publishing and film production industry. Occasionally, the law firm can also be seen on the side of those affected. The eam, which also advises on media and copyright law, is also consolidating its position in the international arena. This is clearly evidenced by the fact that two renowned British publishers, Cambridge and Oxford University Press, and the New York Times rely on the firm’s services for press law issues in Germany.
