Job Description
Fulwell Entertainment is a global entertainment company built from the merger of The SpringHill Company and Fulwell 73. We develop and produce premium content across television, film, digital, audio, and branded entertainment with one mission: to make things people love. Our work spans culture-defining series, groundbreaking documentaries, live events, and platform-shaping formats - all rooted in the belief that great storytelling earns attention, drives impact, and lives everywhere audiences do.
Recent projects include the Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash, The Kardashians (Hulu), Emmy-winning The Shop, Starting 5 (Netflix), Delta’s 100th Anniversary at The Sphere, The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl (Disney), Plastic Surgery Rewind (E! and Peacock), One Shot with Ed Sheeran (Netflix), Hustle (Netflix), and the LA 2028 Olympics handover ceremony featuring Tom Cruise. Fulwell is the right place if you’re ready to work hard on ambitious, creatively driven projects and want to grow in an environment that’s adapting with the industry - not chasing it. This is a company for people who like to be in it - hands on, sleeves rolled, and all the way engaged.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
Fulwell Entertainment is seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Associate to join our Business & Legal Affairs team. In this role, you will work closely with studio executives, brand partnership teams, and Business & Legal Affairs colleagues across the U.S. and U.K. to support the legal and business dimensions of content production and brand integrations.
This position will be based in Los Angeles. You will provide holistic support to the global Business & Legal Affairs function, helping ensure alignment and consistency across regions. The ideal candidate is a true team player who brings strong organizational instincts, excellent communication skills, and a genuine enthusiasm for collaborating across departments at the intersection of law and entertainment.
Key Responsibilities
Production & Development Agreements. Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of production-related legal documents, including attachment, shopping, development, and production services/executive producer agreements, as well as talent agreements, NDAs, location agreements, appearance releases, materials releases, licensing deals, vendor agreements, rental agreements, etc.
Brand Partnerships & Integrations. Support brand partnership transactions by preparing deal memos, tracking contract terms, and ensuring legal compliance for integrations across both original and studio-produced content.
Production Support. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure all legal and contractual requirements are satisfied throughout pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution.
Content Clearance. Assist in reviewing and clearing content, including footage, music, images, and scripts, to ensure compliance with any and all applicable laws, rules, regulations, etc. (e.g., intellectual property, trademark, and advertising regulations).
Contract Management. Organize and maintain a centralized contract database, tracking material deal terms (e.g., terms, rights, deliverables, fees, credit, options, etc.) and manage document organization, record-keeping, and signature workflows across productions and brand-funded projects.
External Counsel Coordination. Coordinate with outside counsel as needed, escalating complex legal matters while ensuring alignment with production timelines.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Bachelor's degree and Juris Doctor from an ABA-accredited U.S. law school required.
Admission to the California or New York State Bar preferred.
1–3 years of relevant legal experience within media, entertainment, or production environments.
Strong familiarity with production-related legal documents, including talent agreements, appearance and material releases, and vendor contracts; knowledge of SAG-AFTRA, DGA, or other guild agreements is a plus.
Experience supporting brand partnerships, influencer agreements, licensing transactions, or IP clearances is highly desirable.
Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to convey legal concepts clearly to creative and production teams.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat, and contract management or e-signature platforms (e.g., DocuSign).
