Comment: The firm, which has its origins in advising the music industry, has broadened its advisory portfolio over the years. In addition to its work for artists (where the firm was also able to acquire some new clients), the firm now also works for advertising agencies and publishers as well as other sectors, whereby the interface with industrial property rights plays an important role. On the association side, the firm is repeatedly involved in copyright issues in connection with ring tones. Most recently, a young lawyer was made partner internally. (4 partners)

Traditionally, the boutique has its origins in consulting for the music industry and the name partner in particular has made a name for itself. Competitors regard the boutique as “highly competent”. However, the firm is increasingly operating on a broader basis: in addition to its original advice to musicians and producers, it is increasingly advising non-media sectors, e.g. fashion and IT. In music law, the exploitation of ring tones created a great need for advice. Also acts for directors, film producers, smaller publishing houses and advertising agencies. (4 partners, 3 associates)
