New and Start Up Media Business Advice

If you are new to business, as a creative entity, you will be in safe hands with Victor Welsh Media Law.
We aim to assist new, fledgling, and growing art and media businesses to set themselves up in a world in which, without proper legal advice and assistance, they may be exploited and/or misled by big corporations and predatory, unscrupulous middle men.

Many musicians, game programmers, artists and designers, film makers, and drama companies have little knowledge or experience of reading or drafting copyright, publishing or programming contracts. They tend to ‘pull down’ such documents from the internet, which are often United States American in content, and wholly unsuitable for the context in which they are intended to be used.

Our intent is to provide accessible, local, cost-effective legal advice to art and media business people not just in Merseyside but inthe United Kingdomto save them the necessity of approaching legal firms in London as the only available resource in this area of law.

Please read the content of our site and see how effective the knowledge, and experience-based, advice and assistance we can offer can be in protecting your legal interests in your copyright, publishing, recording and programming materials.

We can also offer you advice on how best to set up your business, whether by way of Sole Trader, Partnership or Company, and draft for you the relevant documents such as Partnership Deeds, Shareholder Agreements and Terms of Business. We can offer advice on business succession planning, Leases and/orpurchases of your premises, and all other aspects of your business.
