Prior to modern-day, Nigeria’s media and entertainment industry struggled to attract investors and relied on personal funding to sustain productions. Presently, there is significant growth for Nigeria as her entertainment industry has gained global recognition in diverse fields ranging from movies, music, creative arts and stage events with an estimation currently worth $4billion.

Following the emergence of an era of young and brilliant creatives, our firm developed a team of specialized lawyers well-versed and devoted to tackle problems faced in the Entertainment industry and provide groundbreaking solutions. We strive to help clients realize and protect their exclusivity rights conferred on valuable assets by the relevant and applicable Intellectual Property Legislation. Our team carries out registration of copyrights and other intellectual property rights and also advises on the benefits accruing to such registration.

At Lawal Pedro and Associates, we welcome all clients locally and worldwide involved in literary works, artistic works, architectural design, broadcasting on radio and television programs, film making, production of music works, and performing and recording artistes. Additionally, our team offers talent and brand management in Nigeria and the protection of such branding rights.
