Adam Smith trained as a lawyer, whose entire career has been on the business side of production. He left Adelaide for London, found a slot as an inhouse lawyer for ITV UK attached to productions like The South Bank Show, and then went to Warner Bros.

Ultimately he was senior vice-president of the company.
