MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS

For players in the music and performing arts sectors we provide a wide variety of services including, by way of example:

  • advice (administrative, tax and social security regimes, tax credits, piracy);
  • contracts for songwriters, composers and publishers (commissioning, full publishing, single work publishing, co-publishing, sub-publishing, administration, synchronization),
  • back catalog transfers;
  • contracts for performers and labels (exclusive recording, license, distribution, co-production, co-exploitation, featuring, sampling, synchronization, recording authorizations, audiovisual production),
  • contracts for producers and broadcasters of live performances (rights acquisition, co-production, assignment, co-exploitation) and for authors and performers,
  • regulatory procedures and appeals (music ombudsman, CNM, administrative courts);
  • litigation (counterfeiting, contractual liability).

We also provide advice and contractual support for the commercial use of artists’ personality rights (trademark registration, merchandising, endorsement).

And last but not least, we act as agents for artists and authors.
