Talk to the firmYour business
Competition, content and partnerships
An e-sport organisation brings together competition, content production, brand partnerships and community management.
Relationships between players, teams, publishers and organisers are examined in their own context: expected services, remuneration, uses of image and commitments made to partners. Launching an organisation, the arrival of a player or preparing for a competition are opportunities to clarify each party's role.
Who we work with
- E-sport teams and organisations: organisation, player recruitment and competition commitments.
- Players, managers and content creators: collaborations, remuneration, image and broadcasting.
- Tournament organisers and service providers: production, participation, timetable and deliverables.
- Brands, sponsors and commercial partners: visibility, activations and consideration.

Structuring the business and collaborations

Framing content and partnerships

Supporting changes and disagreements
The end of a collaboration, a disputed service or a change in organisation calls for a review of the contracts and the facts. The firm helps prepare the exchanges and examine the possible next steps according to the matter.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
Why examine competition and content together?
These activities may involve the same players, images and partners. An overall review makes it possible to identify overlapping commitments and the points to be clarified in the documents.
Which documents should be prepared for a new team?
An outline of the project, the intended roles, draft contracts, the conditions for taking part in competitions and agreements with partners form a first basis.
Can a player's or streamer's contract be reviewed?
Yes. The services, timetable, financial terms and uses of content are compared with how the collaboration is intended to work.
Does the firm act in the event of a disagreement with a partner?
The contract, correspondence and evidence of performance make it possible to define the dispute and examine the steps suited to the objective sought.
