Harper Macleod has launched a packaged legal product to assist creative arts companies in Scotland to develop their business.

For a fixed fee of £350 the package aims to assist creative arts organisations in attending to both legal matters specific to their sector, and in identifying particular risks involved in their business and taking remedial action. It  includes a ‘creative health check’ service which reviews the client’s business, what it does, who it works with and the legal arrangements in place with a view to identifying and quantifying specific legal risks.

“Legal matters are relevant to any business, but particularly those working within the technology and creative arts sectors, where it’s acutely important to have a concrete foundation from which innovation, creativity and entrepreneurialism can flourish," said Jamie Watt, Practice Group Leader of the firm’s Branding Technology Media & Innovation Practice Group.

"This is particularly the case in the current economic climate. Finding the right advisor who understand these sectors, the passions involved in innovation and creativity, and who can help a business to negotiate the complexities of the law is crucial. Business needs certainty that their assets are protected and relationships watertight. More so now, they need to achieve this on a cost effective level.”
