Dikhoff Van Dongen Advocaten is a leading niche law firm specializing in (digital) media, entertainment, privacy, ICT, copyright, intellectual property, corporate and employment law. Our media and entertainment lawyers have over 25 years of experience in litigation, contracting and counseling in both strategic and legal areas.
Music, Theater
& Events
For many years we have been assisting parties in the music and events industry. We work for both creators (such as DJs, artists, musicians and actors) and operators (such as labels, publishers, promoters and festival and theater producers).
Film
& TV
We have extensive experience in film and television. Traditionally, we advise on features, documentaries, commercials, formats and old-fashioned linear TV, but we can also assist you with new media forms such as video on demand, streamers, user generated content, podcasts, vlogs and socials.
Digital Media
& IT
Because of our thorough knowledge of privacy and IT law, we advise our clients about all kinds of collaborations involving the distribution and exploitation of digital content.
Unlawful Publications
With publications, whatever the medium, there can be quite a clash between freedom of expression on the one hand and the right to protection of privacy (and sometimes portrait rights) on the other.
Corporate
Law
We are the only media and entertainment focused niche firm in the Netherlands with a strong focus on corporate law, partly due to the corporate background of Sander Dikhoff and Vera Nederpelt.
Contracts & Contract
Law
Nearly every cooperation is – should be – set out in a contract. We help both at the beginning of a cooperation by negotiating and advising on the formation of contracts.
Employment Law
Employment law is an important part of our services. We advise both entrepreneurs and individuals on employment contracts and management agreements, and freelancers on contracts of assignment.
Additional services
We have special services for beginning entrepreneurs and makers. For example, we have weekly consultation hours for artists. We also offer the option to assess standard documents for a reduced fixed rate as part of our quick scan service. For questions or to make an appointment, please contact us by telephone +31 (020) 521 99 99 or by email info@dikhoffvandongen.nl
Quick Scan
Artists can have their contracts and agreements quickly assessed by us via a so-called Quick Scan. The agreement is assessed on key points and advice is given on possible areas for improvement.
Artist consultation hours
Every Tuesday afternoon between 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM, beginning musicians, singers, composers, DJs, VJs and producers can contact our specialized music law and entertainment lawyers free of charge with their questions.
