Protecting Creatives. Securing Rights. Building Careers.
At Wes Law Africa, we understand the challenges musicians, models, actors, and agencies face in today’s fast-paced entertainment world. From brand deals and influencer contracts to music licensing and image rights, your creativity is valuable—and it deserves strong legal protection.
How We Help Creatives
Contract Drafting & Review
We prepare and review contracts for talent, brand partnerships, influencers, management, publishing, and agencies. Every clause is checked to ensure you are fairly paid, credited, and protected.
Licensing & Usage Rights
We help you control how your music, image, or content is used—whether on TV, social media, advertising campaigns, or streaming platforms. Our team ensures your work is licensed properly and used within agreed terms.
Copyright & Intellectual Property
From registering works to enforcing copyright, we make sure your creative output is recognised as your property. If your rights are infringed, we act quickly with takedowns, negotiations, or litigation.
Image & Personality Rights
Models, actors, and creators need to protect their likeness. We draft model release forms, image rights agreements, and personality rights protections so your face and reputation aren’t misused.
Royalty Protection
We advise on publishing, mechanical, and neighbouring rights, helping musicians and labels secure royalties and prevent unfair exploitation.

Common Questions
Do I really need a lawyer for a brand deal?
Yes. Influencer and brand contracts often hide clauses around exclusivity, ownership, or usage that can cost you future income.
What happens if my music or images are used without permission?
We can issue a demand for removal or payment, file for an urgent takedown, or pursue compensation in court.
Can you help with royalties and publishing?
Absolutely. We advise musicians on publishing agreements, sync deals, and collecting royalties across different platforms.
