Managing Partner, Entertainment Lawyer

Mark Edwards is the founder and managing partner of Edwards Creative Law, LLP,

an entertainment law boutique with offices in Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and

Vancouver and a practice that extends to every common law province in Canada.

Mark’s personal focus is live-action and animated films and series, video games,

and digital media.

Mark acts for Canadian producers and studios and for US and foreign buyers of

Canadian entertainment products and services. He brings nearly 30 years of

experience structuring, funding, financing, producing and exploiting linear and

interactive media – to ensure that his clients minimize their risks while maximizing

the benefits of Canada’s favourable production environment, low dollar and

generous production tax credits.

In addition to his legal practice, Mark has developed, financed and delivered

hundreds of episodes of children’s animation – most often as international co-

productions under one of Canada’s many bi-lateral audio-visual production treaties;

launched CrowdWave, a proprietary, mass-interactive game platform for

professional and collegiate sports; and managed the development and production

of state-of-the-art branded content and destination web sites for major US

advertisers.

Mark is a member of the Law Societies of Ontario and British Columbia.
