Where creativity, commerce, and intellectual property intersect

Music and recording

We advise artists, performers, managers, labels, promoters, and production companies on the full range of legal matters relevant to their work. This includes the drafting and negotiation of artist agreements, management contracts, recording contracts, publishing agreements, distribution deals, and synchronisation licences. We advise on the ownership and exploitation of music rights, mechanical, performance, and synchronisation, and on the structures through which royalties are collected and distributed.

Live events

For live events and concert promotion, we assist with venue agreements, talent contracts, sponsorship arrangements, and the regulatory and insurance considerations that come with organising large-scale events. We have experience working with event management companies across the Middle East and Gulf region as well as the UK, giving us an understanding of how these deals are structured in different markets.

Film, television, and publishing

On the film and television side, we advise on production agreements, rights acquisitions, co-production structures, and distribution arrangements. In publishing, we assist with author agreements, licensing, and the protection of literary and editorial rights.

Across all of these areas, intellectual property sits at the heart of the work. AZ Legal Solutions helps clients in the creative industries understand what they own, what they have agreed to give away, and how to ensure their rights are properly protected and commercially exploited.
