1. Do I need a contract even for small creative collaborations?

Yes. Even informal projects can lead to disputes. A contract helps clarify rights, responsibilities, and payment expectations for all parties involved.

2. How do I protect my music, film, or artwork from being used without permission?

You need to secure your intellectual property rights—such as copyright registration—and include clear licensing terms when sharing your work. We can guide you through the process.

3. Can I sue a media platform or journalist for defamation?

If false and damaging statements are published about you, you may have a valid defamation claim. We can assess your case and help protect your reputation legally.
