To Jean, I had the same situation here as written above. Luckily for me, it seemed I prepared well for my job several years ago and the union checked my contract and made some changes as I did a lot of freelance. All my work was my property/copyright, also after the (unfriendly) take over. Perhaps a lesson from Europe for newcomers in the business :) @ Kris, you’re question is answered I saw.

I paid her fully for the work she has done. There was no written contract. I have now hired a full time graphic designer and I have asked the freelance graphic designer to give me the original artwork so that I can have the in house graphic designer use it. She refused to turn over the original files (7 years worth of work for which she was paid very well). A few days later she called me and said she would turn over the files for a fee (substantial I might add). I told her that the logo's belonged to my company and she was already paid for her work. Do I have any legal rights to obtain these from her? Hi,
