Securing the agency's value chain: from creation to invoicing.
As an agency, you are a hub between creatives (freelancers, employees) and advertisers. Your legal risk is twofold: not owning the rights you sell, or being responsible for the content published.
AsProfessor of Contract Law at Paris-Dauphine University, I master the technicality of Intellectual Property essential to your profession.
I work on several key areas:
- The Chain of Rights (IP): I secure the acquisition of copyright from your graphic designers, developers or editors so that you can validly transfer them to your customers,
- The Advertiser Relationship: Drafting your Framework Contracts and order forms to limit your liability (customer validation, deadlines, unpaid invoices),
- Transparency (Sapin Law): Securing your mandates to buy advertising space and validating your financial flows to avoid criminal risk,
- Customer contracts: Drafting contracts for the provision of marketing services, web development, SEO/SEA, and maintenance,
- Intellectual property: Copyright transfer clauses, protection of graphic creations and source codes,
- Subcontracting: Securing relationships with freelancers and technical partners (NDA, subcontracting contracts).
