Legal Executive and Senior Legal Executive at Balaji Telefilms Limited, Mumbai (Motion Pictures Legal Team; 1-5 Years PQE)

Balaji Telefilms Limited is one of India's best known content production houses. It was originally incorporated as a private limited company on 10 November 1994 and began by producing content for television broadcasters, before expanding into feature films through its Motion Pictures vertical and into digital and streaming content. Its registered office is at C-13, Balaji House, Dalia Industrial Estate, Opposite Laxmi Industrial Estate, New Link Road, Andheri (West), Mumbai 400053. The company's film and television slate spans titles such as The Sabarmati Report, Dream Girl, Bhoot Bangla, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, which gives its in-house legal team an unusually broad media and entertainment law practice.

The company has stated that it is looking to strengthen its Motion Pictures Legal Team and is inviting applications for the position of Legal Executive or Senior Legal Executive. The successful candidate will work closely with the Motion Pictures business, creative, production and distribution teams across the full lifecycle of feature films.

This is an in-house transactional and advisory role rather than a litigation posting. It sits inside the Legal function of the Motion Pictures vertical and is described by the company as a fast-paced film production environment in which the lawyer is expected to handle matters independently.

As stated in the company's hiring notice, the role runs across the lifecycle of a feature film and covers:

• Film development and production
• Talent onboarding, and writer and director engagements
• Music and related rights
• Intellectual property and copyright
• Distribution, and theatrical and non-theatrical exploitation
• Related commercial arrangements, negotiations and contracting

Balaji Telefilms has said it is particularly interested in candidates who bring:

• Practical experience in feature film and film industry legal matters
• Strong contractual drafting and negotiation skills
• The ability to independently handle matters in a fast-paced film production environment

Candidates with relevant feature film or motion pictures legal experience are expressly encouraged to apply.

The notice specifies an experience band of 1 to 2 years or 3 to 5 years post-qualification experience (PQE). The junior band maps to the Legal Executive title and the senior band to the Senior Legal Executive title, and applicants across that 1 to 5 year range may apply. Prior in-house or law firm exposure to media and entertainment, film production or intellectual property work will be the practical differentiator. The company has not published a separate academic cut-off, a bar enrolment requirement or a language requirement for this call.

The notice states the following particulars:

• Location: Mumbai
• Function: Legal, Motion Pictures vertical
• Employment type: Full-time
• Experience: 1-2 or 3-5 years PQE

The company's registered and corporate office is in Andheri (West), Mumbai. Balaji Telefilms has not published a remote or hybrid working option for this role, so applicants should plan for an on-site Mumbai posting.

Balaji Telefilms has not disclosed a salary figure, band or CTC range for either the Legal Executive or the Senior Legal Executive position. This is a full-time salaried role at a listed company, but candidates should expect compensation to be discussed during the selection process rather than published in advance. Do not treat any figure circulating on third-party job aggregators as authoritative.

Applications are made only through the hiring form published by the Balaji Telefilms Limited Legal Team. The form asks for your name, email address, phone number and LinkedIn profile, and then requires you to upload your latest CV. Because the form accepts a file upload, you will need to be signed in to a Google account, and the name and email address associated with that account will be recorded alongside your submission.

Before you begin, have an updated CV ready that foregrounds any film, television, music rights, intellectual property or media contracting work you have handled, since that is the experience the company has singled out. There is no application fee.

Balaji Telefilms has not announced a closing date for this call. The hiring form was open and accepting responses as of 22 August 2026, and applications appear to be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. Because there is no published cut-off, a strong application submitted early carries a real advantage, and the form may be closed without prior notice once the team has shortlisted.
