Overview
Acting for a high net worth Bollywood celebrity in a high-value media rights dispute with a global streaming company.
Approach
The dispute arose over royalty entitlements under a media rights agreement between our client and a leading international streaming platform. The contract involved a substantial catalogue of film and TV content, with royalties valued in the millions of US dollars.
We advised our client through SIAC arbitration proceedings in Singapore and developed a tailored strategy that preserved the client’s public profile while privately advancing their contractual and financial interests.
Outcome
We successfully steered the dispute toward a confidential, negotiated settlement on terms that were extremely favourable to our client. The result avoided a protracted arbitration and enabled both parties to move forward without reputational damage.
The matter concluded with our client recovering a significant portion of the disputed royalties and protecting their rights in future licensing discussions.
Impact
We helped the client avoid negative publicity while securing a settlement that reflected the full commercial value of their rights. The result not only protected their brand and legacy but also preserved their long-term negotiating position with global content distributors.
