Stephen Digby is the owner of Digby Law and a highly respected intellectual property lawyer with over 30 years of experience working closely with producers, freelancers, ad agencies, and production companies. As the legal advisor to the Commercial Producers Council, Stephen knows the ins and outs of what it takes to protect your business and your IP in the production world.

We discuss the critical importance of having an exit strategy in business, handling tough business conversations early, and why clear contracts are a must from day one. Stephen also offers a crash course in avoiding common legal pitfalls in production, but remember, while this conversation is full of useful advice, it’s not legal advice! If you find yourself in a bind, definitely consult with your own lawyer.
