Start with the commercial model, target customers, required level of control and applicable regulatory requirements. The legal structure should follow those decisions.
Review the counterparty, ownership and control, contract, payment route, sanctions exposure, customs issues and supporting documents as one transaction.
We advise artists, producers, promoters, venues, labels and media businesses on rights, contracts, production, releases, live events and disputes.
Fees depend on the scope and type of engagement. For fixed-scope services, deliverables and assumptions are agreed before work begins. Project support is scoped after an initial assessment.
Send only the information needed for an initial conflict check and scope assessment. Do not send original documents or highly sensitive material through the website form.
Tell us what has happened, which countries and parties are involved, and any deadline. We will check whether we can act and discuss the work needed.
