Contract Management Services

Here is how this works in practice. We manage the contracts that hold a production together, from crew and cast deal memos to vendor, location and supplier agreements. Our team sets up drafting, review and signature, tracks deliverables and payment milestones, and keeps a clear record of each executed document so producers always know where each agreement stands. We work with Croatian legal advisors to make sure terms reflect local employment practice. We align contracts with the needs of HAVC, the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, when a production is claiming the national rebates.

Here is the short of it. We handle amendments as schedules shift, manage confidentiality and rights clauses, and make sure obligations around insurance, safety and permits are reflected in the forms. The aim is a contract framework that protects the production, satisfies the rebates audit and keeps each party clear on what they have agreed.

Here is the breakdown. Contracting in Croatia sits within a stable EU legal environment. Croatia joined the European Union in 2013 and adopted both the euro and Schengen membership on 1 January 2023, so agreements are denominated in euros and the country trades inside the EU single market. Data clauses must respect GDPR and the oversight of AZOP. The Croatian data-protection authority, while shoots claiming the 25% cash rebates, branded 'Filming in Croatia' and administered by HAVC, need contracts that document qualifying Croatian spend cleanly, with the rate rising to 30% in less-developed regions.

VAT is charged at 25%. Global shoots such as 'Game of Thrones' and 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' have run wide contracting in Croatia. Our processes reflect that experience, keeping agreements steady, auditable and aligned with both the regional film commissions and the rebates's compliance needs.
