I advise on stage and theater law for

authors, publishers, theaters, actors, directors, and license partners, e.g., in the clearance of rights, the drafting of performance and engagement contracts, the clearance and settlement of book or music rights, questions of individual or collective labor law, and on all other legal and contractual issues.

Typical areas of advice:

• Stage publishing contracts
• Adaptations
• License agreement
• Termination of contracts
• Rights clearances
• Revocation of rights
• Moral rights (credits, integrity)
• Performance contracts
• Musical and other stage productions
• Director contracts
• Broadcasting contracts
• Advising legal successors and heirs of copyrights
• Collecting societies (e.g., VG Wort)
• Trademark and title protection
• Claims for injunctive relief and damages
• Representation in court
