2025 YMA Children, Youth & Media Conference

Event Review

November 2025

Toronto

Edwards Creative Law’s managing partner and entertainment lawyer Mark Edwards enjoyed connecting with peers at the 2025 YMA Children, Youth & Media Conference last week in Toronto.

Mark had the pleasure of speaking at the session “International Co Productions and Productions in Films, Series and Others”, where he shared insights on building successful partnerships to bring Canadian stories to global audiences.

Mark’s practice focuses on live-action and animated films and series, video games, and digital media. If you missed the conference but would like to discuss your project, you could book a meeting with him here.
