'The Legal 500' Ranking 2008
Entertainment Law
At Unverzagt - von Haveclients praise ‘outstanding media lawyer’ Ralph Oliver Graef, considering
him to be a ‘superb negotiator’ who is ‘very well connected in the
entertainment industry’. The team as a whole impresses clients with ‘very short
response times’ and ‘excellent litigation skills’, while ‘the Anglo-American
legal background’ is an added attraction. Harro van Have and Kai May are also
recommended. Eight partners in Hamburg and one in Berlin have a focus in the
film and TV sector, where the team has advised a number of big-name clients for
some years, including Commerzbank (on film financing matters) and Studio Canal
Image (on international film production). Studio Babelsberg, Constantin Film
and Senator Film are among other film-sector clients. In the TV sector the
client list reads like a who ’s-who of TV channels, and includes RTL, Sat.1,
BBC Worldwide Germany, ORF Wien, Viva TV, Vox TV and RTL Enterprises. The firm
has begun developing its presence in Cologne with the addition of one new media
lawyer.
