Lewis Silkin Partner Cliff Fluet joined the Fastball podcast for a two-part discussion on the legal and commercial foundations of catalogue operations and how these shape a catalogue’s position on the Catalogue Maturity Curve.
Part 1: What are you actually buying?
Cliff breaks down the core question in any catalogue deal: what rights are truly being acquired. He highlights:
- how financial investors and record labels take different approaches to diligence
- why deals often fixate on price before rights are fully understood
- how gaps in title, documentation or consents can shift deal value
Part 2: Operationalising rights post-acquisition
The second episode looks at how buyers operationalise acquired rights after completion, from managing obligations and key dates to ensuring rights are properly administered.
