Anything on the web?
j) Where can I find a Confidentiality Agreement?
Easier than I think?

Should I try for an amicable compromise?
Should I ever cut my losses & walk away?
Are there professional mediators?
l) Who owns the IP if I work for a company?

What’s theirs & what’s mine?

What about a ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’?
Should I establish legal rights from the outset even if we’re friends?
I work with my partner. What happens to the IP when we divorce?

to my employment?
What about photographs I take for myself whilst out on a commission?

q) Who owns the IP if I use ‘found’ work?
I’m walking along the street & this snap falls on my head.
Can I use it in an art work with impunity?
I’ve seen Amélie (film). Can I hang around photo booths & use the discards?
r) What if someone ‘finds’ my work?
