Location Agreements
Professional property contracts and location releases for productions in China.
Location agreements in China are legally binding contracts between productions and property owners that define the terms of filming access under PRC Property Law and State Council filming regulations. These agreements cover fees, dates, permitted activities, restoration obligations, insurance requirements, and liability provisions — including heritage considerations at sites like the Forbidden City and Great Wall heritage zones — that protect both the production and the location owner.
We prepare and negotiate location agreements that clearly define terms acceptable to both your production and Chinese property owners. Our team works with local legal professionals to navigate government approval requirements for foreign productions and content review boards, ensuring agreements are comprehensive, enforceable, and compliant with PRC Property Law and State Council filming regulations.
