Anwen Griffiths - Partner, Film & TV

 

Anwen is a Partner in Lee & Thompson’s Film & TV Group.

An experienced media finance specialist, Anwen is widely regarded as one of the UK’s leading film, TV and video games finance lawyers.  She returned to Lee & Thompson as a Partner in March 2019 having originally left the firm in 2012.   Recognising the increasing convergence between the traditional film and television industries and the wider gaming and interactive entertainment market, Anwen has built a practice which is a real reflection of the ever-changing global entertainment business, enabling her to respond fully to clients’ needs.

She started her career in film production and then trained as a lawyer, spending 6 years at Olswang. In 2010 she joined Lee & Thompson and subsequently moved to Sheridans to become a Partner in their Film, TV & Broadcasting team. In 2017 she moved to the BFI where she was responsible for overseeing all legal aspects of the BFI’s funding activities.  For the past four years Anwen has also been on the board of Ffilm Cymru Wales.

In 2022, the Government appointed Anwen as a BFI Governor for a term of four years. Anwen’s role is to advise on all aspects of the BFI’s activity in the creation of its public and screen sector strategy for National Lottery Funding over the next 10 years, including the strategic development of television, video games, interactive and immersive technologies as part of the evolution of the UK’s “moving image” landscape. In particular, Anwen looks to specifically address BFI policy relevant to Wales.
