Your business

Production, broadcasting and uses of content

A single project may involve a brand, a creator, a production company, service providers and several distribution channels.

The contractual review links the expected services to the intended uses: media, formats, duration, territory, approvals and financial terms. It identifies the questions to be clarified before content is launched or made available.

The firm examines these commitments and handles commercial disputes arising from their performance.

Who we work with

  • Producers, studios and agencies: organising projects, services and coordinating the parties involved.
  • Content creators and brand partners: collaborations, deliverables and approvals.
  • Publishers, broadcasters and platforms: terms of availability and uses of content.
  • Advertisers and sponsors: campaigns, activations, consideration and monitoring of commitments.

How we assist

How the firm assists

Discuss your situation ↗
  1. 01

    Preparing the production

    Defining the services, deliverables, timetable and approvals. The responsibilities of the parties involved and the conditions for changing the brief are examined to make the course of the project clearer.

  2. 02

    Clarifying uses and partnerships

    Comparing the intended uses with the available agreements. A brand operation or distribution across several media requires the rights, authorisations and commitments to be examined in the matter to be identified.

  3. 03

    Dealing with performance difficulties

    A disputed deliverable, an outstanding payment or a disagreement over the use of content calls for an analysis of the documents. The firm helps prepare the discussion and determine the possible next steps according to the facts.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

Ask your question ↗

Which documents should be sent for a content project?

The brief, draft contracts, the intended media and uses, the timetable and agreements already concluded with the parties involved provide a useful basis.

Can a partnership between a brand and a creator be reviewed?

Yes. The scope of the services, approvals, financial terms and uses of the content are examined together according to the project.

How should a disagreement over a deliverable be prepared?

Keep the versions, approvals, correspondence and contractual documents. They make it possible to compare the expected services with what was delivered.

Can the firm act before broadcast?

An upstream review may cover the project's commitments. Specify the planned dates and the points already discussed so that the engagement can be organised.
