Get the credit and compensation your work deserves

Credit & Compensation

Should Never Be Ambiguous

Whether you’re a songwriter, designer, or producer, you deserve proper credit and payment for your work. We help clients negotiate royalty terms and enforce moral rights to ensure they’re recognized—and paid fairly.


Nicole brings creative and legal experience to every royalty or rights dispute.

Moral rights and royalty structures often determine long-term compensation, attribution, and creative control. Clear drafting and enforcement planning reduce the risk of underpayment, credit disputes, or misuse of creative works across evolving distribution platforms.

FAQs

  • What are moral rights?

    Moral rights protect a creator’s right to be credited for their work and, in certain contexts, to object to distortion or misuse. These rights vary depending on the type of work and jurisdiction but are especially important in creative industries.

  • Can you help with unpaid royalties?

    Yes. We assist with reviewing royalty statements, evaluating contract terms, addressing discrepancies, and pursuing recovery when compensation obligations are not met.

  • Do I lose rights when I sell or license my work?

    It depends on how the agreement is structured. Licensing typically allows you to retain ownership while granting usage rights, whereas assignment transfers ownership entirely. Careful drafting preserves control where appropriate.

  • What should I do if I’m not credited properly for my work?

    Failure to provide agreed-upon credit may constitute breach of contract or violation of moral rights. Early legal review can help determine appropriate corrective measures or compensation.

  • Can royalty disputes be resolved without litigation?

    Many royalty conflicts can be addressed through structured negotiation, accounting reconciliation, or mediation. However, formal legal action may be necessary in cases involving significant financial discrepancies or contractual breaches.
