An interactive workshop about how to approach contracts and issues of intellectual property for creatives. Have you ever signed a contract you didn’t fully understand? We will make sense of the general legal language you see in contracts, focusing on intellectual property rights. We will discuss how to use your common sense to review contracts and learn how to break them down into clear and understandable parts. We will go through key concepts of contract formation, commercial terms to consider and how to make sure you understand what happens with the rights to your work. Cristina Comsa is an Associate in the Film & TV department at Lee & Thompson, advising clients on matters involving the financing, development, production and distribution of film and TV productions. This programme is curated by Centre for Research and supported by the AA Visiting School.
