Testimonials
‘We have worked closely with Eleanor Clark Windo for nearly two decades. The professional relationship began when she worked at of the leading UK based film finance entities, who we successfully collaborated with on some of our most high-profile films including the Oscar and BAFTA nominated Carol and the box office hit Made In Dagenham. Eleanor’s legal and business acumen, coupled with a persistence, thoroughness were instrumental to making these films happen.
‘We were delighted when she decided to set up an independent practice and immediately took up the opportunity to engage her to manage the Legal and Business Affairs across our film and television activity.
Not only is her professionalism exemplary, but she is also an absolute pleasure to work with.’
– Stephen Woolley and Liz Karlsen, Number 9 Films

Highly experienced and deeply respected in her field, she gets to the nub of any issue immediately and navigates complex matters with clarity and precision. Personable, insightful, and always composed — Eleanor is a trusted ally and a pleasure to work with.’
– Alice Clough, former General Counsel, See-Saw Films
‘Eleanor … quickly became a reliable partner to the business and … Legal & Business Affairs team. Her deep understanding of film production and financing and her pragmatic approach helped us navigate several key issues with confidence. Eleanor is professional and easy to work with and provided valuable support during a busy period for our company.’
– Alec Skelton, Chief of Staff, Anton Studios
‘Eleanor has been an invaluable partner on multiple projects. Her commercial acumen and deep understanding of the independent film and TV landscape make her consistently insightful – she spots issues and opportunities that others miss. What really sets her apart is how dependable and responsive she is; when you’re working to tight deadlines, having a solicitor who’s both quick and thorough is worth their weight in gold. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any filmmaker, producer or financier looking for sharp, practical legal guidance.’
– Wilf Varvill, Sleeper Films
‘Eleanor was recommended to us and stepped in to salvage a good result from a deal with a major film studio that had been dragging on for many months. This would not have been possible without her help. She then acted on our behalf and negotiated a new, swiftly concluded contract with another film company that currently has an option on our books.
‘Eleanor’s skills, experience and professionalism have been invaluable, and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for us.’
– Professor Angela Gallop CBE and Jane Smith – authors of When the Dogs Don’t Bark and How to Solve a Crime
‘Eleanor did a brilliant job for me. I really valued her expertise and input and would highly recommend her.’
