A Comprehensive Overview of the Legal Framework for Cultural Projects

The legal and financial foundation for your project to get started

A protected work or creation encompasses authorship, economic exploitation, and reputation. When a dispute arises, defending it requires assessing ownership, the scope of the rights, existing licenses, evidence of creation or use, and the impact on its exploitation.

Since 1865, we have been providing intellectual property consulting services, assisting with the protection, exploitation, and defense of works, content, software, formats, characters, and audiovisual, literary, artistic, or digital creations.

This accumulated experience allows us to assess each case with a comprehensive understanding of the asset and to anticipate which legal and evidentiary arguments can strengthen each position.

We provide advice on structuring domestic and international co-productions, financing models, and applying for and managing grants.

As well as limits on state aid and the registration of corporate vehicles as Economic Interest Groups (AIE) or Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) for foreign productions.

Our approach allows us to organize the legal, regulatory, tax, and operational aspects of the project from the outset, linking initial decisions to the project’s development, production, and future operation to strengthen legal certainty throughout the entire process.

Legal Structuring Services for Cultural Projects

We define the project's legal, financial, and corporate structure

Design of the Project's Legal Framework

We determine the most appropriate legal structure based on your needs, the type of project, the partners involved, and the applicable regulations.

National and International Co-productions

We provide guidance on setting up co-production structures, the allocation of rights and responsibilities, contributions, and the terms of participation for each producer.

Funding Options for Cultural Projects

We analyze the financing options available for the project and how they align with tax incentives, grants, private investment, or other available options.

Grants and Public Aid

We assist with the process of applying for and managing state, regional, or European grants, reviewing requirements, deadlines, documentation, and associated obligations.

State Aid Limits

We verify the applicable limits to ensure that the project's public and private financing is structured correctly and to avoid any conflicts.

Incorporation of Corporate Vehicles

We provide advice on the formation and registration of production companies, Economic Interest Groups (AIE), or Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) when the project's structure requires it.
