I have a few legal queries about my writer’s contract – can you advise me?

The Script Factory does not have the resources to offer specific legal and contractual advice although we do occasionally offer Legal Surgeries with our Legal partners over at Bird & Bird. The best way to hear about future surgeries is to join our Mailing List – you can do this here.
 
Meanwhile, to talk through specific issues you might contact The Writers' Guild of Great Britain who have certain useful info on their site including Writers Guild and PACT Writers minimum terms option agreement. Do note that some more detailed info is accessible to Members only.
 
Also useful, ScriptWriter Magazine has a legal section which offers some useful guidance on common legal questions at www.scriptwritermagazine.com/legal
 
BBC Film Network has compiled an excellent list of online sources of legal information for British Filmmakers www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork
