How the practice helps
Publishing and licensing agreements
Drafting and reviewing terms for publication, reuse, adaptation, distribution and payment, with attention to the parties’ intended uses and responsibilities.
Software and commissioned content
Review of agreements involving code, photographs, designs and other deliverables, including the rights each contributor or commissioning party is intended to retain or receive.
AI and cross-border use
Analysis of disputes involving AI-related uses of content, foreign platforms or parties in several countries, and coordination with relevant local counsel when needed.
02
Legal context
The work, the agreement and the disputed use.
An assessment starts with the original material, its creation and publication history, any licence or agreement, and the use being challenged. The legal analysis then examines the relevant rights, possible exceptions, parties and jurisdictions. A platform complaint, negotiated resolution and court proceedings are distinct routes to assess against the facts and the client’s objective.
03
Frequently asked questions
Direct questions deserve precise answers.
What information does the office need to assess a copyright matter?
Begin with a brief description of the work, how it was used, the parties and countries involved, and any deadline. Identify relevant contracts, original files, publication dates and links so the office can explain what documents it needs.
Can I seek assistance if I live outside Lebanon?
The office considers Lebanese legal matters for clients abroad and cross-border disputes involving creative work. The relevant jurisdictions and any need for local counsel are clarified before a mandate is agreed.
Does this cover creative work outside the technology sector?
Yes. Copyright matters include texts, photographs, designs, music and audiovisual work, alongside software and online content. The initial assessment identifies the specific work and legal questions.
