General mission<\/h2>

Protecting the Diversity of Your Practices<\/h3>\n

As an artist-author or performer, your act of creation, whether it is performed as a independent<\/strong> (scriptwriters, writers, illustrators, photographers, visual artists, etc.), employee<\/strong> (actors, musicians) or mixed<\/strong> (directors, sometimes scriptwriters in workshops, etc.), has an economic value that is often underestimated. You also have the freedom to become co-producer<\/strong> or co-publisher<\/strong> to exercise greater control over your creative process, according to your aspirations.<\/p>\n

Restoring Creative and Financial Balance<\/h3>\n

Producers and publishers, in their quest to maximise their financial assets, tend to draft complex transfer of rights clauses, unbalancing the creative and artistic process (Upstream<\/strong>) to the financial exploitation of your rights (Downstream<\/strong>). These insufficiently protective contracts for you, combined with often abused<\/strong>can leave you vulnerable during the creation phase.<\/p>\n

A complementary role to collective agreements, agents and professional organisations<\/h3>\n

Although the number of collective agreements is increasing, they are struggling to rebalance<\/strong> the conditions under which you set up your business and sometimes legitimise practices that are contrary to the law. Belonging to a professional organisation or having an agent does not always guarantee appropriate advice, given the frequent conflicts of interest and tensions<\/strong> likely to be involved in the creative sector.<\/p>\n

Our expertise<\/h3>\n

Pragmatic knowledge of the creative sector<\/h4>\n

Our experience means we understand the dynamics of the sector and the intricacies of contracts. Our aim is to advise you effectively by identifying problematic clauses, preventing common pitfalls, and understanding current trends. We help you understand production and operating accounts, identifying potential fraud to best protect your interests.<\/p>\n

Conflict Management<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the event of a dispute or infringement of your rights, we will guide you through the necessary procedures.<\/p>\n

Preferred Amicable Solutions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our initial approach is to find solutions amicable<\/strong> to avoid the costs and uncertainties associated with legal action. If all else fails, we can represent you in court. across France<\/strong>to ensure that your rights are respected and protected.<\/p>\nContact<\/span><\/div><\/div>
