Representative lawyer for artists and authors
The firm's lawyers also act as representatives for artists and authors, helping them to manage their career and negotiate contracts relating to their professional activities.
Since the decision of January 26, 2017 of the French National Bar Council, lawyers can have the status of representatives of artists and authors for their clients.
This status allows the lawyer to adapt to the economic dimensions of each project by being remunerated by a percentage capped at 10% of the artist/author's remuneration.
The firm's lawyers assist and represent their clients in a wide variety of cultural sectors (literary publishing, audiovisual, cinema, music, live performance, art market, etc.).
The firm has a good knowledge of the artistic world, its networks and current events, which enables it to put its clients in touch with potential partners and support them in projects that correspond to their aspirations.
The firm's expertise in intellectual property and media law enables it to act on all contracts that authors and artists may need to enter into, and to ensure that their rights are respected in both negotiations and litigation.
The firm also assists clients in structuring their artistic activity (setting up a publishing house, production company, etc.).
This representative work is carried out under a contract between the lawyer and the author/artist.
