Four areas, one underlying question: who owns what, and on what terms.

We act for recording artists, songwriters, producers, managers, labels and publishers — on the deal that starts a career and the ones that decide what it’s worth a decade later. Nigerian music is a global export now, and the agreements behind it need to work in every market the record reaches.

• Recording and artist agreements
• Publishing and administration deals
• Distribution and label services
• Producer agreements and royalty points
• Songwriter splits and split sheets
• Management and commission terms
• Featured artist and collaboration terms
• Sync licensing for film, TV and advertising
• Brand partnerships and endorsements
• Live performance and touring agreements
• Master ownership and catalogue transactions
• Royalty audits and unpaid income

Athletes and public figures generate value from their name and image well beyond their playing career. We structure and negotiate the commercial side of that, and act for the agencies and brands on the other side of the table.

• Image and personality rights
• Sponsorship and endorsement agreements
• Agency and representation terms
• Ambassador and appearance deals
• Talent agency structuring
• Commercial and contractual disputes
• Exit and termination advice

Registration is the cheap part. The value is in owning the right things, licensing them on terms you control, and being in a position to enforce when someone uses your work without asking. We handle the full arc.

• Trademark clearance searches
• Trademark registration and renewals
• Copyright registration and assignments
• Licensing structures and terms
• Portfolio strategy and management
• Infringement and passing-off claims
• Cease and desist correspondence
• Platform takedowns and content disputes
• IP due diligence on transactions

• Design rights and registration
• Commission and studio agreements
• Collaboration and co-creation terms
• Manufacturing and supply agreements
• Brand and house partnerships
• Exhibition and showcase terms
