Contracts? It's better to have one, especially in the arts and culture sector. What should be included in a contract? What form can a contract have? Does everything in the contract apply? How can questions about the copyright be expressed? What can I do in case of a contract breach? What do I do if there is no contract and the other party won't pay me?

Lawyer Laura Rhotert will provide a detailed introduction to the topic in this workshop, followed by an open question and answer session where your individual concerns can be discussed.
Laura Rhotert has been admitted to the bar since 2011 and initially worked as a solicitor in large and medium-sized law firms in the areas of antitrust law and trademark law before starting her own practice in 2019, focusing on copyright contract law and trademark law. She has been a partner at Laaser & Rhotert PartG mbB since 2025 and mainly advises on contract law, copyright law and trademark law.

This event is a cooperation between touring artists and Goethe-Institut in Exile.
