The importance of having any agreements in writing and signed by both parties, cannot be overlooked, especially in the creative industries, where it is common for parties to engage in discussions without ever having an agreement prepared.

You don't always require a long form contract, and by simply having something in writing will always help as it is then expressed and documented. We would always suggest to have an express agreement which clearly explains the position of the parties, but we appreciate this may not always be appropriate. However, this does not mean that no form of express documents, whether an email, a text message are not valuable.
