A word from the practice

“In this industry the contract almost always runs behind the project, which has already started. Our job is to make sure that urgency is not paid for at the premiere.

In depth

The entertainment industry, from the inside.


Argentine copyright law (Law 11,723) protects the work from creation, but in practice what decides who owns and exploits a project is the chain of contracts: development, production, talent, licensing and distribution. Foreign producers and platforms shooting or licensing in Argentina also deal with the national film institute regime (Law 17,741), local collective management societies for music, and image rights under the Civil and Commercial Code.

Production and co-production

  • Production, co-production and production services agreements
  • Chain of title: rights clearance, options and adaptation rights
  • Credits, delivery, insurance and completion
  • Financing structures and incentives

Talent, image and music

  • Actor, director and writer agreements, with exclusivity and derivative rights
  • Image, voice and name licensing for campaigns and sponsorship
  • Recording, publishing and synchronisation agreements

Distribution and platforms

Licensing by window, territory and platform, with reserved rights, reporting obligations and audit clauses that make the revenue share verifiable.

Why choose us for entertainment matters

We work with producers, labels, artists and brands on projects that are already moving, which is when legal work has to be fast and commercially aware. We work in English with foreign producers, platforms and agencies.

Frequently asked questions

What producers, artists and brands ask us.

Starting points for entertainment projects with an Argentine connection.


Who owns the copyright in a commissioned work in Argentina?
Authorship stays with the individual creator; economic rights are transferred by written assignment. Without a written chain of title the producer may find it cannot license the project internationally, which is the most common problem we are asked to fix late in the process.
Can a foreign producer shoot in Argentina with local crew?
Yes. The usual structure is a production services agreement with a local company, which handles crew engagement, permits and insurance. Crew relationships are generally employment relationships under Argentine law, so the engagement model matters.
What is needed to use music in an audiovisual work?
Two clearances: the composition (publishing) and the specific recording (master), plus the collective management formalities that apply locally. Synchronisation licences must cover the territories, media and term of the intended exploitation.
How are image rights handled for talent and influencers?
Use of image, voice and name requires consent, which should specify media, territory, term and context. Advertising must be identifiable as such. Open-ended or perpetual consents are frequently challenged.
What can be done before an unauthorised release?
Urgent injunctive relief is available where infringement is clear and the harm imminent. Its success depends on documentary evidence of ownership prepared in advance, not improvised at the last minute.
Are foreign-law entertainment contracts enforceable here?
In international contracts the parties may choose governing law and forum. For enforcement against assets or parties in Argentina, and for registration purposes, local formalities and a certified Spanish translation will be required.
