However, it is important to note that the entertainment industry has grown into something big over the years. Therefore, there will inevitably be conflicts of interest, which will lead to legal issues. Legal issues may arise in all stages of the creation of original works of entertainment. Over the past two decades, entertainment law has literally been created on the fly as the industry expanded into the ever-changing world of the digital era.
Dr. Kulneet Suri, Senior Director, IMS Noida, spoke about how Entertainment Law is a demanding career that requires a solid understanding of contract law, corporate law, finance, tort, bankruptcy law, immigration law, tax law, labour law, and intellectual property law, as well as applying the principles to the interactions between players in the entertainment industry.It also covers pieces of legislation regulating media of all types, such as television, film, music, publishing, advertising, etc. Much of the work of an entertainment lawyer is transaction-based and includes drafting contracts, negotiation, and mediation. This may lead to litigation or arbitration.
