Olswang and Stephenson Harwood have taken lead roles as Cineworld moves to update its UK screens to be able to handle 3D films such as 2010 blockbuster Avatar.

Olswang advised Cineworld Group on the deal, which closed earlier this month (11 June), while Stephenson Harwood was instructed by digital cinema technology provider Arts Alliance Media, which will implement the digital upgrade programme at 77 Cineworld cinemas.
