MÜLLER PAPARIS
EXPERTISE · TECHNOLOGY, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & MEDIA

Providing legal support for creative productions from concept through to exploitation.

We advise artists, producers, agencies, management, companies and media organisations on contracts, chains of title, financing, production, publication and exploitation.

How can we support you?

A production or collaboration is beginning

Roles, financing, performance, rights and credits should be regulated at an early stage.

What we do for you

Clearly defined services.

Production agreements

We structure roles, services, financing, acceptance, rights and exploitation.

Artists, agency & management

We regulate mandate, exclusivity, remuneration, term and conflicts of interest.

Chains of title & clearance

We review works, music, images, persons, archive material and necessary consents.

Licensing & exploitation

We structure media, territory, term, revenues, platforms and subsequent exploitation.

Media disputes

We advise on publication, breach of contract, rights claims and urgent protection.

CREATIVITY NEEDS A CLEAR CHAIN OF TITLE

The more people are involved in a production, the more important legal allocation becomes.

A missing right can block an entire publication. We establish clarity at an early stage as to who contributes what, who may decide and how revenues and use are allocated.

How we work

We clarify format, roles, contributions, financing, media and timetable.

02

Structuring rights and contracts

We organise the chain of title, remuneration, approvals, liability and exploitation.

03

Supporting production and use

We prepare documents, review approvals and provide support in disputes.
