When you need to agree on the terms of use of rights, negotiate a collaboration or resolve disagreements concerning creative works, a brand, projects or contributors’ input, it is important to have support that understands both the legal and the human side of the relationship.
Pletora helps prepare and conduct negotiations, mediates communication between parties with different interests and helps reach sustainable agreements – whether between authors, publishers, collaborators or project partners.
When a collaboration gets stuck or a conflict arises, we support you in setting up a process of amicable dispute resolution, with a particular focus on mediation – a structured, confidential procedure that allows an agreement without litigation.
Pletora provides:
- Preparation for negotiations and setting priorities
- Leading or supporting negotiations on the use of rights, licensing and collaboration
- Mediation between authors, performers, partners or co-authors in complex relationships
- Support in initiating and taking part in mediation proceedings
We focus on:
- Clearly defining interests and proposed solutions
- Calm and focused communication between everyone involved
- Preserving the relationship and continuing the collaboration whenever possible
- Adapting the way communication is handled to the sensitivity of the relationship and the specifics of the situation
