Lawyers for Creatives

When you are in the creative industries, you know how important intellectual property, and in particular copyright is. Whether you are a podcaster, blogger, web, graphic or pattern designer, artist, photographer, videographer, copywriter or musician it is vital to have written agreements with clear copyright ownership or licensing documented.

Lawyers who have experience working with creatives are best placed to draft legal documents that will protect you. They will understand intellectual property rights and be able to draft in language that will be interpreted properly by a court. A lawyer will also know how to minimise legal risk and draft contracts in your favour.

FAQs

Well drafted contracts will help you get paid

Lawyers are experts in drafting contracts, and one of the most important arrangements you have with your clients is the way you get paid. A properly drafted agreement will define fees, including any cancellation fees or penalties and payment arrangements, and make these terms legally binding.

We helped Bridget* by drafting a contract for her which included benefits for those clients who paid on time, penalties for late payments, and cancellation and refund terms that benefited her business. It meant that her clients were legally bound by the payment terms, and she could direct them to the agreement when there was any uncertainty.  Her business has run much more smoothly as a result.

As lawyers for creatives we can help you with a well drafted contract that will help you get paid. 

Agreements drafted by a lawyer will help you enforce promises

When a lawyer drafts a contract, it inevitably includes various promises that are made between you and the other person. When we run a business we need to rely on other people and their promises. You may need your clients to give you access to a location, to be on time, to give you logins, approvals and much more. A well drafted contract will ensure these promises are legally binding, so if the other party breaks the promise, you can rely on the contract to resolve a dispute, and even sue them if necessary.

As lawyers for creatives, we can help you with a well drafted agreement that will help you enforce promises.

A contract will help ensure there is no misunderstanding as to copyright

When a lawyer drafts an agreement for you they will be able to properly set out the ownership or licence of copyright and any other intellectual property rights in a work. For example, a licence may be for a limited time or area, be exclusive or non-exclusive. Sometimes there will be restrictions on the use of the work; perhaps clients can only use it for personal use. Sometimes there will be approvals that are required to use the work again, or in another way. Any contract will also set out what credits must be made if any and what royalties must be paid. 

As lawyers for creatives, we can help you with a contract that clearly sets out copyright and other intellectual property rights.
