Expertly taking care of the law & the business of creativity.

Photography

Photographers and videographers use CL&B to ensure they have a clear understanding of IP and how best to structure dealings. It's beneficial to retain image copyright, wherever possible, and license images for specific usages, rather than assign rights.

We can provide user-friendly template T&Cs for photographer clients to use when they contract with clients. We can expertly review contracts submitted to you by brands and creative agencies.

Also, we help many photographers to unlock the value of their portfolios and navigate syndication and merchandising deals.

Other areas of our expertise include image rights, moral rights (including Artist Resale Right), orphaned works, commissioning and residency contracts, artist and gallery contracts, funding agreements.

We take great pride in our advice on disputes involving infringement of copyright and licensing issues.

It is always a joy to work with Dean. He has very friendly and easy going manner. Makes law sound far more straight forward than it is.
