Legal Script Clearance Reports
A legal clearance report is typically created before a film or television series commences production. However, if your script has already been shot, we can still help.
At Pearce Research, we read a script and thoroughly analyze it not for story development but for every element that could require legal clearance — i.e., anything that might need licensing or permission to be presented onscreen.
In-Depth Research
Pearce Research’s standard reports often include citations and links to primary sources, and we also prepare more in-depth reports for projects based wholly or partly on actual persons and events.
At the direction of your attorney or legal clearance analyst, we can conduct period name and business checking or perform other specific searches that go beyond the standard checking for fictional script elements.
Additional Services
Pearce Research is pleased to offer additional script commentary. When requested, such discerning notes address missing or duplicated text in scripts, misplaced names or directives, unintended lapses in verisimilitude, misspellings, and simple typos.
Even in this fast-paced digital age, each of our clearance reports is tailored to the client to serve the specific needs of each script and production.
