Harbottle and Lewis

An Official Industry Partner to BAFTA Elevate

Harbottle & Lewis is an award winning law firm with a deep rooted history in media and entertainment. We are proud to count among our first clients Lawrence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Dirk Bogarde, and Anthony Quayle to name a few. As the firm has grown over the years, so do our relationships with producers, actors, writers, studios who rely on us to ensure that their work is protected and valued. We advise on all aspects of a media project, from the development to the production and we can help with finance and individual talent on set.  

Our founder Lawrence Harbottle made an outstanding contribution to Britain’s cultural life and was instrumental in creating a more diverse and inclusive art scene. These values are deeply ingrained in the fabric of our firm which is why our partnership with the BAFTA Elevate Programme is particularly significant. Working with those who are changing the face of the industry is inspiring and BAFTA’s continued support to those who are not equally represented, is something we value highly.

As part of the BAFTA Elevate programme we will be providing legal support and advice to honourees through sessions aimed to enhance their understanding around key legal issues relevant to their work and ambitions.
