Law firms ranked by client reviews
Related rights cover the protections that sit alongside copyright—namely the rights of performers, the producers of sound recordings, and broadcasters—to control the use and exploitation of their work in the UK. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates licences, clears rights for use of performances or broadcasts, and advises on assignments or transfers of those rights. They may also help with collecting royalties through licensing bodies, and they handle infringement actions, disputes over use, and the drafting of contracts governing exploitation and revenue sharing.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
This work involves dealing with specific rights regimes—performers’ rights, sound recording rights, and broadcasting rights—and the complex web of licences, assignments, and revenue streams that govern exploitation. The solicitor handles contract terms, notices, clearance processes, and potential disputes, including actions for infringement and remedies, often coordinating with collecting societies and organisations that administer neighbouring rights. The role relies on knowledge of the relevant Acts, schemes, and industry practices to navigate permissions, exploitation schemes, and fair dealing in practice.
