Rights Negotiation
BGA can work with you on every aspect of your rights negotiation – for Framework and Talent Union Agreements, inter-company, and Talent or Contributor deals:
Planning – taking your rights strategy or objectives into a negotiation requires careful preparation, which may include:
– Research, analysis and market background
– Business modelling and costings
– Legal research, interpretation or searches
– Sourcing best contacts and approaches
Negotiation (direct/indirect) – BGA can help you manage the negotiation behind-the-scenes, or negotiate rights directly for you (subject to a full briefing and terms of engagement to be agreed between us)
Drafting and Contracting – BGA has access to industry-leading IP lawyers to draft an Agreement to reflect the final terms agreed, if required
Contract Implementation – once the rights terms are agreed and signed off, we can help with communication and delivery to:
– implement the new rights acquired, sometimes with phased approaches
– manage or track the rights (e.g. payment stages, licence term expiry)
– Exemptions process (if rights not granted, or revoked)
Please also contact us if you would like us to deliver Negotiation Skills training to your company, organisation or team – we have many years’ experience of being on both sides of the negotiating table.
