Canada is a prime destination for studios and alternative media content producers to enjoy our country’s mature tax credits and attractive currency. “Hollywood North” is multicultural and multifunctional – there is availability of crews, studio space, local production and talents, whether they be actors, directors, editors or producers.

While audiences sit back and enjoy the final product, there’s a lot of work that happens behind the scenes – including lots of legal. In this episode of the Entertainment & Media Law Signal podcast, Bob Tarantino speaks with Ken Dhaliwal and Caitlin Choi about their career paths. The pair look back on their experience of how they became entertainment lawyers, what their practices look like today, and offer some tips for anyone interested in the profession.
