Antony Swiatek

Antony joined Lee & Thompson in 2011 as an associate and is now a partner in the firm’s Film, Television and Games group advising leading independent producers and other talent-led production companies in connection with the development, production, financing and exploitation of a wide variety of film, television and other audiovisual content projects. Antony has extensive experience of independent feature film and studio productions, including a variety of international co-productions involving co-operation across Europe, North America and Asia. He also works closely with clients on high-end television productions and premium SVOD commissions. Over the last few years, Antony has developed a growing specialism in life rights adaptations, biopics, and feature documentary projects, particularly those relating to the worlds of music and sport, and he is a member of the firm’s working group on AI in the creative industries. Together with Luke Carey, Antony formed and runs the “NextGen” Producers Collective, a supportive community for emerging and established independent producers intended to support ambitions, encourage mutual collaboration, share collective knowledge, back diversity, inclusion and emerging talent, and bring creative people together in a non-competitive, nurturing way. Antony is a regular speaker at industry events and seminars, including training and mentoring for emerging producers via the James Walker Legacy Award, the National Film & Television School and Film London. · Lee & Thompson LLP
