COPRODUCTIONS

At JGA ABOGADOS, we offer comprehensive legal and strategic services for the structuring of international audiovisual co-productions, guiding producers through the legal, financial, and operational frameworks required to bring multinational projects to life. We assist in the negotiation and drafting of co-production agreements, rights allocation, governance structures, and recoupment schedules, ensuring alignment with international treaties and national regulations. In Colombia, we leverage Law 814 of 2003 (Ley de Cine) to help producers access local tax incentives, parafiscal contributions, and automatic funds, integrating them into broader financial strategies for budget optimization. Our services include the design of co-financing models, legal validation of eligible expenses, and incorporation of public and private funding sources to strengthen financial planning and maximize production value. Whether the objective is treaty qualification, cross-border equity, or leveraging local incentives, we deliver tailored legal frameworks that ensure both creative and economic success.

In addition to audiovisual co-productions, JGA ABOGADOS advises on the legal and financial structuring of a wide range of creative and cultural projects eligible for CoCrea incentives in Colombia. 

These include writing rooms and content development labs, theatrical productions, video game development, digital series, and hybrid formats that merge technology and storytelling. We assist creators, producers, and sponsoring companies in designing CoCrea-compatible structures that comply with cultural eligibility criteria, IP protection requirements, and fiscal deduction mechanisms under Colombian law. Our services cover the formation of legal vehicles, sponsorship agreements, contribution contracts, licensing and authorship terms, and documentation required for approval by the Consejo de Evaluación de Proyectos Culturales. By integrating legal rigor with cultural sector expertise, we help our clients unlock private financing through CoCrea while preserving creative control and ensuring sustainability for long-term development.
