Gráinne McKenna

Partner

With over 25 years of experience advising on the full life cycle of film and TV content, Gráinne has been a key player in the industry, working on some of the biggest film and TV productions of the last two decades. She held senior roles at Working Title and NBCU International before joining Wiggin LLP as a partner in 2015. Her client roster spans major US studios, mini-majors, distributors, and independent film and TV production companies across the UK, US, and Europe.

“Working with such a diverse range of clients allows me to engage with every aspect of the film and TV industries. I understand the distinct commercial needs of producers, talent, financiers, broadcasters, and distributors, whether in the studio system or the independent sector. This broad perspective enables me to close successful, pragmatic deals through a clear and collaborative process.”

In addition to her expertise in film and TV, Gráinne also advises on theatre and immersive events. She is dedicated to promoting diversity within the industry, serving as a Board Trustee for INTO FILM, the UK’s leading educational film charity, and working in partnership with The Roundhouse on its Emerging Filmmaker Programme. Her recently released production credits include Hamnet, Bugonia, The Running Man, Goodbye June, Downton Abbey, Nosferatu, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, The Agency, MobLand and Industry.

Gráinne is fantastic in every respect.
