Contract law

Contract law governs the agreements between parties – from cooperation agreements to general terms and conditions – and what happens if one of them fails to comply with those agreements. We draft contracts and assist you in disputes.

We do so in collaborations where parties have to keep working together for years to come, but also in exit arrangements, for example when a business is sold. We negotiate sharply and in a businesslike way, always after a precise assessment of the client’s position. Realism in the preliminary phase pays off in a better result.

In the media and creative industry, the value chain is often long and complex. We oversee the entire chain and make sure the documents are aligned with one another. Particularly in an online environment, many parties are involved in the communication and exploitation. We create a robust legal framework.

We take care of the contracts between talent and the broadcaster or producer. In those negotiations we know the market, the prices and the percentages. Most parties in the sector know us well and know that we operate realistically and in a businesslike way.

We litigate a great deal over collaborations that have broken down, disappointing acquisitions and infringements of contractually transferred intellectual property rights. In disputes over contracts, strategy is essential. When terminating or dissolving agreements, we act with great precision to prevent loss of position and, later, loss of the proceedings. We know all the steps and options. We keep each other sharp by having our choices critically reviewed within the firm by our colleagues each time.
