Learn About Media Contracts

Examine media contracts to ensure rights are protected and compliance standards are met across jurisdictions, especially in these areas:

Contract Drafting & Negotiation

We generate contracts for VOD streaming, SaaS agreements, marketing, advertising, production, and content acquisition. usually from scratch. Otherwise, we review a contract provided by a contractor or licensure and make comments or rephrase several terms to make it more balanced in terms of rights and liabilities, or even remove the liabilities as a whole. We negotiate with clients, contractors, and licensure on the terms, especially why they were included in the contract. In Latin America and in Europe, people are not necessarily aware of how businesses operate in the US, and this is where legalities and liabilities become serious concerns.

Network Operations

From transponder services to broadband bandwidth arrangements, we provide end-to-end support in drafting and negotiating agreements to streamline contractual frameworks, mitigate risk, and optimize commercial outcomes.  

Television Sales and Content Distribution

Once content is produced, whether a series or a standalone show, a television agreement is needed to sell it to networks for distribution on their channels. We help draft the agreements for production and co-production and negotiate them.

Digital Content Sales or Streaming Services

The same television sales process is applied to digital media, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and the like.

Branded Services (Production, Format Rights, Content Acquisition Deals)

This is more on the production side of the contract, where a production agreement is created for the release of the talents, hosts, and guests. This needs to document the clients' rights so they won't be sued for using someone's image without their consent.

Advertising and Sponsorships

In advertising and sponsorship, the role of a contract is to ensure that advertisements are permitted in a given country. In Venezuela, for example, there’s a law that prohibits any advertisement promoting violence of any type, including the use of a water gun. This is where we offer legal advice, particularly on what is allowed and not. With sponsorships, we work to ensure that the license and agreement allow our clients to air the sponsorships in the given content.
