Influencers, videographers & Youtubers

The production and distribution of video and audio content raises various legal issues, both at the amateur and professional level. Obviously, the intensity of the legal framework increases with the shift to the professional level, this change being sometimes totally unexpected, or sometimes even rather involuntary. Practical questions arise: 

• Differentiating amateur activity from professional activity

• Supervise the recording of image and sound, as well as broadcasting on all media

• Pay oneself remuneration or not, and where necessary provide a legal framework for remuneration

• Register with the Commercial Register

• Incorporate a company

• Conclude and modify contracts (leases, provision of services, sponsorship, product placement, etc.)

• Hire staff, secure an employment relationship

• Prevent or deal with difficulties and disputes

• Dialogue with different administrations

Tailored solutions can be implemented depending on the project, context and practical needs, taking into account the time you have available for management. Entrepreneurs need a trusted interlocutor with a generalist field of intervention, allowing them to respond to various requests, all while focusing on the production of quality content.
