When creative work is used without permission
Photos, videos, music, text and digital content spread faster than ever today. At the same time, copyright boundaries are frequently crossed, often with significant financial consequences for creators, businesses and clients.
Many people only discover later that their work is being used without permission. Others suddenly face copyright claims or formal demands.
In the digital environment in particular, disputes can arise very quickly.
Protecting and enforcing copyright claims
As a copyright lawyer, I advise artists, photographers, content creators, businesses and individuals on all copyright matters.
My work includes, in particular:
- Agreements for the use of works
- Licensing agreements
- Formal copyright demands
- Claims to stop infringement
- Damages claims
- Use of images and videos
- Music and media law
- Defending unfounded claims
Clear contractual terms prevent many disputes later on. Usage rights should be clearly defined, particularly for social media, advertising campaigns and creative projects.
Strategic advice with a commercial focus
Copyright matters often involve not only legal questions, but also reputation, commercial interests and the need for quick solutions.
I help you enforce your rights efficiently or defend firmly against unfounded claims.
