The Publisher's Agreement 

As legal counsel hired on a one-year contract, ELS advised this studio of its obligations to its publisher's agreement when production started backsliding due to internal problems.

• The chief production manager wanted to know the consequences for missing a milestone schedule for delivery of a playable to the publisher.
• The chief creative officer wanted know what restrictions he had in ordering additional dev kits for his team.
• With technical issues threatening the production of this studio's game, the HR manager needed to secure his team of programmers with extended freelance agreements; however, the challenge would be facing the barriers in Dutch law regarding the time length a freelancer can work for one client.

This studio needed to know how to proceed. ELS reviewed all legal aspects of the Publisher's Agreement and, based on ELS advice, drafted the appropriate letter to the Publisher.

The Finder's Fee Agreement 

ELS needed to negotiate a finder's fee agreement between an investment broker's lawyer and my client.

• ELS compromised terms according to the client's wish, if and when it did not legally obstruct the client's goals.
• ELS stressed to its client the importance of respecting executed non-disclosure agreements with financers when this broker's lawyer argued information could be freely shared.
• ELS prepared the final finder's fee agreement for execution.
