Negotiating and securing your contracts
Assignment, collaboration, production, publishing, licensing: the firm negotiates and drafts the agreements of the creative economy — balanced, enforceable, in French and in English.
Typical situations
- You are asked to sign an assignment, a license or a collaboration agreement
- You drafted or received a contract and want it reviewed before signing
- A signed contract is not being performed as promised
- You contract with foreign partners under common-law templates
The contracts of creation
Assignment of rights, commissioning, co-authorship, production, publishing, licensing and merchandising: the firm drafts and negotiates the agreements that structure creative work — with the specific formalism French law imposes on copyright transfers.
Negotiation, not confrontation
A good negotiation preserves the deal. The firm identifies what is essential, what is tradable and what is market practice, and negotiates accordingly — a reviewed and negotiated contract costs a fraction of the litigation it avoids.
Common-law fluency
Reps and warranties, indemnification, liability caps, governing law: the firm negotiates common-law style agreements in English and articulates them with French public-policy rules — a decisive asset with international partners.
When performance fails
Formal notices, renegotiation, termination, damages: the firm enforces your agreements with the same concern for your commercial objective.
