Dialogue on Contracts: Hot Seat in Negotiation

Explore the negotiation room and experience the realities of deal-making in the audiovisual industry. This dynamic panel-workshop continues the popular legal series at Music Meets Film, turning the spotlight on one of the most critical and often most challenging parts of any creative career: contracts and negotiations.
Led by attorney-at-law Priit Lätt (TEGOS) and joined by producer Helen Lõhmus (Zolba Productions), the session moves beyond theory into practice. Built around an interactive “hot seat” format, it brings real-life scenarios and negotiation situations into the spotlight, offering an unfiltered look at how agreements are shaped, tested, and finalized.
The discussion will explore key aspects of copyright, contractual relationships, and negotiation from legal, creative and production perspectives. Through live case discussions, participants will gain practical insight into common pitfalls, learn how to better protect their creative and financial interests, understanding production standpoints and develop a stronger sense of confidence when entering negotiations.
Whether you’re a composer, filmmaker, or producer, this workshop offers valuable tools and honest perspectives to help you navigate the complexities of contracts with greater clarity and control.
