From Intellectual Property and portfolio management to commercial contracts, media and entertainment law, licensing, and regulatory compliance - our advice is as dynamic as the industries we serve.
The firm works closely with artists, galleries, collectors, and curators to provide comprehensive legal support tailored to the creative sector. Our work includes end-to-end agreement management - from drafting and redlining to high-stakes negotiations. Beyond contract work, we assist clients with strategic catalogue management, ensuring that IP, usage rights, and royalty structures are optimized for long-term growth and protection.
A strong brand is built intentionally - and protected the same way. CALAA works closely with clients to advise on IP separation, brand strategy and conceptualization, IP audits, due diligence, and competitor tracking. We also provide advisory on brand IP acquisition through assignments, negotiations, and licensing - ensuring that every strategic decision is backed by a legal framework built to last.
Every commercial relationship rests on the agreement that defines it. We draft, review, redline, and negotiate the full range of commercial contracts - service and vendor agreements, collaborations, licensing, distribution, employment and consultancy terms, NDAs, and settlements. Our focus is on allocating liabilities and rights with precision, so that each agreement mitigates risk while keeping the commercial relationship durable and workable.
Intellectual property only creates value when it is commercially exploited effectively. CALAA advises clients on the full spectrum of IP commercialization - from licensing structures and assignment negotiations to due diligence and IP-backed transactions. We work at the intersection of legal precision and business strategy, ensuring that your IP assets are not just protected, but actively working for your bottom line.
Copyright is often the most underleveraged asset in a creative business. At CALAA, we help clients identify, register, and actively manage their copyright portfolios - covering searches, applications, prosecution, assignment, and licensing. Whether you are an individual creator or an enterprise managing a large body of work, we ensure your rights are documented, enforceable, and structured for commercial use.
Data is now a regulated asset. We advise businesses on compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and allied frameworks - privacy policies, consent architecture, data processing and transfer agreements, breach response protocols, and internal governance. From startups building their first data stack to established brands handling large customer datasets, we translate evolving regulation into practical, implementable safeguards.
Design protection secures the visual identity of your products - and in industries driven by aesthetics, that protection is commercially critical. We assist clients with design searches, applications, prosecution, registration, and renewals, as well as portfolio management and cancellation proceedings. Our approach ensures that the look and feel of your products is protected before it reaches the market.
Fashion is one of the most IP-intensive industries in the world - and one of the least legally protected. At CALAA, we work with designers, luxury brands, fashion houses, and retailers to build legal strategies that match the pace and creativity of the industry. Our work spans trademark prosecution and portfolio management, design protection, licensing and collaboration agreements, anti-counterfeiting strategy, and brand acquisition. We understand that in fashion, identity is the asset - and we treat it accordingly, ensuring that your aesthetic, your name, and your commercial relationships are protected at every stage of your brand's evolution.
Content is commerce. In an era where intellectual property moves across platforms, borders, and formats at speed, the legal frameworks governing media have never mattered more. CALAA advises broadcasters, OTT platforms, production houses, content creators, and media companies on the full range of transactional and regulatory challenges they face - from content acquisition and co-production agreements to licensing, distribution, and clearance. We understand both the business of storytelling and the legal architecture that sustains it, helping clients structure deals that are built to last in an industry that never stops moving.
The music industry runs on rights - and understanding who owns what, and on what terms, is the difference between building a catalogue and losing one. At CALAA, we work with artists, composers, producers, music labels, and publishers across the full arc of a music business relationship: from recording and publishing agreements to sync licensing, royalty structuring, and distribution deals. We handle the legal infrastructure behind the creative process - so that every collaboration, release, and revenue stream is protected from the start. Whether you are an independent artist formalizing your first deal or a label scaling a roster, we bring the same rigour to every mandate.
A trademark is more than a name or a logo - it is the foundation of your brand's identity and commercial value. At CALAA, we manage the full lifecycle of trademark protection: from searches, application, and prosecution to renewals, oppositions, and portfolio management. We handle filings in India and internationally, including under the Madrid Agreement, and across key jurisdictions including the USA, UK, EU, and China. Whether you are filing your first mark or managing a multi-jurisdictional portfolio, we bring the same technical precision and strategic thinking to every stage.
