Chris Hammond
Chris understands the US Studio business and the complex guild issues like few other UK entertainment lawyers. He has literally lived and breathed that ecosystem almost exclusively for the past decade and was recently based in LA. “I advise US Studios financing, developing, producing, acquiring and/or distributing film and television in the UK and/or Europe. My track record speaks for itself: “Game of Thrones”, “Star Wars”, “Succession”, “Chernobyl”, “Jack Ryan”. Translating and decoding the UK entertainment industry for US Studios is at the heart what I do every single day. If you have a potential blockbuster, I can help.” He has previously completed secondments at the BPI (British Phonographic Industry) and NBC Universal. · Wiggin LLP
