Legally compliant drafting of agency contracts
Agency contracts form the foundation for successful collaboration between agencies and their clients.
However, drawing up such contracts is often a complex challenge in which the interests of all parties involved need to be carefully balanced and formulated in a legally compliant manner.
This is where my expertise as an IT lawyer comes into play.
I support advertising and marketing agencies, PR agencies and design offices in drafting their contracts in such a way that they offer comprehensive protection on the one hand, but also ensure the necessary flexibility for smooth collaboration on the other.
My consulting approach is always individual and solution-oriented.
Together with my clients, I analyze the specific requirements of each individual project and develop tailor-made contractual clauses that meet the particular challenges of agency work.
This involves not only the classic topics such as service description, remuneration and liability, but also sensitive areas such as dealing with copyrights, confidentiality agreements or the granting of rights of use.
In addition to drafting new contracts, I also support my clients in reviewing and optimizing existing agreements.
Targeted adjustments can often minimize risks and increase legal certainty without burdening the client relationship.
In doing so, I always adhere to the principle that a good agency agreement must not only be legally flawless, but also practicable and easy to understand.
Only in this way can it be fully effective and contribute to the agency’s success.
If you would also like to draft and optimize your agency contracts in a legally compliant manner, I look forward to getting to know you and finding the best solution for your company together.

Protection of ideas and concepts during pitches
Pitches are a double-edged sword for many agencies.
On the one hand, they offer the opportunity to win new clients and present creative ideas.
On the other hand, there is always the risk that the concepts and strategies revealed in the pitch will be used or copied by potential clients or competitors without authorization.
To prevent this, comprehensive legal protection is essential.
This is where my advice comes in.
I support advertising and marketing agencies, PR agencies and design offices in effectively protecting their intellectual creations and safeguarding their interests in the pitch process.
A key element of this is tailor-made non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), which I tailor specifically to the needs of my clients.
Through clearly defined confidentiality clauses and restrictions on use, I ensure that the ideas and concepts presented in the pitch may not be used or passed on without consent.
At the same time, I make sure that the NDAs are drafted in such a way that they fairly take into account the interests of all parties involved and enable constructive collaboration.
But the protection of ideas goes far beyond NDAs.
Together with my clients, I develop holistic protection strategies that also include aspects such as trademark, design and copyright law.
By planning ahead and using suitable protection instruments, the risk of unauthorized use can be minimized and the value of creative work can be increased.
Should an infringement nevertheless occur, I support my clients with competent advice and consistent enforcement of their claims.
In doing so, I always keep an eye on economic interests and strive for pragmatic solutions that protect my clients’ reputations and do not unnecessarily burden their business relationships.
If you would also like to effectively protect your ideas and concepts in the pitch process, I look forward to getting to know you and developing the best strategy for your company together.
