Since the liberalisation of the profession by the law no. 2010-853 of 23 July 2010As a global company, you operate in a competitive, globalised environment, which makes it difficult to establish adequate internal services to meet the professional expectations of your talent.
Master Denis GOULETTE,
with his unique professional background, has dual expertise in the cultural sector. For over fifteen years, he worked alongside producers, developing an in-depth understanding of their negotiating techniques. Then, during four years at the head of the Guilde française des scénaristes, as well as numerous interventions on behalf of the Ligue des auteurs professionnels, he had the opportunity to familiarise himself with the concerns and needs of artist-authors. Today, this dual background enables him to offer a balanced and comprehensive view of the issues facing the sectors in which your talents operate.
By choosing our firm, you are giving yourself the opportunity to improve your reputation with talent and operators. Our firm offers a range of specialist legal services to help you navigate a complex and constantly changing environment.
Appropriate legal assistance
Our firm is ready to intervene on an ad hoc basis, responding to your specific needs at the time, whether for the negotiation of a contract, the management of a dispute or a legal consultation. We can also offer you ongoing legal support, ideal for those who do not have an in-house legal department or who wish to increase the capacity of their existing team.
Negotiating contracts and protecting your interests
In a sector where funding opportunities for original creations are limited, operators may be tempted to impose their position. Our firm can assist you in negotiating, or take direct charge of negotiating, all types of contracts that your talent may be required to conclude.
Litigation Management
When negotiations fail and conflict seems inevitable, we're there for you. Our approach favours an amicable resolution designed to maintain solid relations with operators.

Fees
Lawyers' fees are not regulated.
It is therefore up to the lawyer and his client to agree on the amount of the fees, based on each of the following elements:
- the time spent on the case,
- research work,
- the nature and difficulty of the case,
- the importance of the interests involved,
- the benefits and results obtained for the customer, as well as the service provided,
- the client's financial situation.
In principle, these elements are used to define an hourly rate, which serves as the basis for calculating fees according to the time spent on the case.
For cases that are not too complex, and for which we can reasonably anticipate the time involved, the fees may be subject to a flat rate or a ceiling.
In the event of legal disputes, and if the case lends itself to it, we may consider fixing a proportion of the fees according to the outcome, for example on the amount of compensation obtained, or conversely on the difference between the amount of damages initially demanded by your adversary and those obtained thanks to the assistance of our firm.
A fee agreement is proposed prior to any service. It systematically provides for a deposit to be paid at the time of agreement. It sets out the amount of fees to be paid, excluding VAT and including VAT.
Costs related to the case (transport, photocopies) are recovered in addition to the fees.
