Cinema, Music & Theater

The world of music and theater thrives on creativity, performance, and public recognition – but also faces constant legal challenges. Artists, producers, guilds, and cultural institutions must balance artistic freedom with copyright protection, fair remuneration, and the complexities of digital distribution.
We advise on copyright and neighboring rights, licensing of performances, collective rights management, sponsorships, and disputes over royalties or ownership.

Both emerging performers and established cultural figures benefit from guidance when negotiating with producers, streaming platforms, and major venues.
We are regularly involved in high-profile cases touching on reputational defense, actors’ guild initiatives, and precedent-setting litigation. Our approach combines legal precision with cultural understanding, ensuring that creative voices remain safeguarded while their work reaches audiences worldwide.
