One of the things I’m most passionate about in my work is leading these projects and working closely with every player involved.
My goal is not only to secure the best financial deal for all parties, but also to create an environment where the project flows. At the end of the day, it is about making sure the creative process is enjoyable and reaches the finish line with as little friction as possible.
Disputes start at the negotiating table
Many disputes in the film and TV industry surface when the project is already well advanced. And, in most cases, they originate in the way the rights were negotiated.
Before starting an audiovisual production, there is a stage that tends to define much of the project: the negotiation.
What a good rights negotiation defines
A proper rights negotiation settles key issues for the future exploitation of the work and for the project to deliver the greatest possible financial return:
- Formats and windows.
- Territorial and time scope.
- Adaptation rights.
- Creative approvals.
- Credits and moral rights.
At Synowiec & Asociados we advise production companies, platforms, actors and authors on finding the right legal framework for producing audiovisual content in Argentina, the United States, Spain, Mexico, Chile and Uruguay.
