Dr Mathilde Pavis - A lawyer in your corner

In this channel, I share bite-size information about the law (and contracts) relevant to content creators, talents and tech developers. I cover questions related to AI a lot, so watch out for that content too !

The content I cover comes from questions I get working with content creators directly, and from followers on social media.

Note: I give legal guidance, not legal advice. Legal advice is specific to your case and your unique scenario. Legal guidance speaks to "most" situations based on a set of facts. Legal guidance is a great starting point if you're stuck with something about a contract or the law. Keep engaging, keep learning !
