Merrill Legal Solutions hits the red carpet

Merrill Legal Solutions was commissioned by Freud Communications to provide stenography services for the evening. It was exciting to be involved in such a prestigious and glamorous event and the brief was to provide transcripts of the red carpet interviews, acceptance speeches, ceremony and press conference. To achieve the very fast turnaround required (transcripts were delivered in chunks every 20 minutes for immediate release to journalists) Merrill provided two stenographers, two editors and a project manager, with one team covering the red carpet and ceremony and the other covering the press conference. Thanks to the hard work of our teams, it was a very successful night for Merrill (as well as for British cinema).

Nik Selman of Freud Communications said “We thought it was a great idea to use stenographers and editors, rather than just stenographers. Thanks to that, the transcripts were extremely accurate.”

Managing Director, Jayne Perry said “Merrill Legal Solutions has a good track record of providing stenography services to the media and communications industry. We have worked previously on projects with a wide range of media clients, including Warner Brothers, Buena Vista, ITV and the BBC. We were delighted to be involved with the BAFTAs and with Freud Communications."
