LITIGATION

At JGA ABOGADOS, we provide strategic legal representation in copyright litigation and contract law, safeguarding the creative and commercial interests of clients in the entertainment, media, and cultural sectors. Our services are designed to enforce rights, resolve disputes, and protect the value of audiovisual and intellectual property assets in both domestic and international contexts.

Copyright Litigation & Enforcement

We represent rightsholders, producers, distributors, and creators in disputes involving copyright and neighboring rights. Our services cover:

• Infringement of audiovisual, literary, musical, and artistic works
   
• Unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of protected content
   
• Breach of licensing, assignment, or distribution agreements
   
• Violations of moral rights, including integrity and attribution
   
• Disputes among co-authors, producers, or rights holders
   
• Enforcement of contractual clauses concerning intellectual property
   

Our litigation team acts before Colombian civil and administrative courts, as well as before regulatory bodies such as the Dirección Nacional de Derecho de Autor (DNDA) and the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio (SIC). We also coordinate international enforcement strategies with law firms in key jurisdictions, acting under international frameworks like the Berne Convention and WIPO treaties to protect our clients’ rights across borders.

In parallel, we represent clients in contractual disputes arising throughout the lifecycle of audiovisual and creative industry transactions. Our firm handles litigation related to:

• Breaches of co-production, development, and financing agreements
   
• Disputes over option and purchase contracts, pre-sales, and revenue participation clauses
   
• Conflicts arising from talent, crew, and director agreements
   
• Violations of exclusivity, termination, or indemnity provisions
   
• Delayed delivery, non-performance, or misuse of granted rights
   
• Enforcement of complex multi-party or cross-border contracts
   

We provide litigation and dispute resolution services before ordinary courts and arbitration tribunals, as well as in pre-litigation scenarios. 

Our team combines legal precision with a strong understanding of production structures, financing mechanisms, and the international business logic behind each transaction. We also advise on risk allocation, early contractual design, and negotiation strategies to minimize exposure to litigation.

By integrating contract law expertise with our focus on intellectual property, JGA ABOGADOS delivers a holistic litigation service tailored to the realities of today’s global entertainment industry.
