Legal & commercial support designed for artists, makers, designers & creative businesses
Running a creative business means juggling ideas, clients, collaborations, and output and you also need to protect the work you produce and the relationships you rely on. That’s where we can help. We specialise in supporting small creative practices, freelancers, and independent studios with clear, practical guidance on:
Intellectual Property (IP)
- Understanding your rights over your creative work
- Protecting designs, artwork, branding and digital content
- Avoiding accidental infringement (AI, inspiration and using third parties)
- Licensing your work safely and profitably
Contracts
- Freelance agreements
- Client contracts
- Commissioning terms
- Usage rights & licensing terms
We translate “legal stuff” into straightforward, stress‑free advice tailored to how creative businesses actually work.
