Palisady Asia Pacific advises owners, investors and operators of music, media and entertainment assets. We combine rights valuation, data analytics and applied AI with two decades of deal-making across the region.
Every engagement is led personally. The work is analytical first — grounded in the numbers, the contracts and the data — and commercial second.
Independent valuation of music catalogues, publishing and master rights, media IP and rights-based businesses — for acquisitions, disposals, financing and disputes.

Practical application of AI to rights businesses — contract analysis, catalogue research, reporting workflows and decision support — built into how the work is delivered.
Licensing, partnerships and market entry across Asia Pacific, informed by senior operating experience with labels, platforms and rights holders.
