We are well-versed in all aspects of media and entertainment law, from the many complex issues facing traditional media outlets to social-, multimedia, and distribution issues.

We advise record labels, songwriters, bands, film producers, actors, managers, management companies, promoters, booking/talent agencies, writers, book publishers, alternative media and communication companies, and music and film production companies.

Music Industry.

Our services include advice in relation to music licensing, royalties, and grants of commercial use for music, as well as for synchronization (for television, film, commercials, plays, and video games) and new technologies (apps, dApps, streaming, and digital downloads). We also handle all types of copyright and trademark registrations for our entertainment clients, along with copyright termination and renewals.

Film and Influencer Marketing.

We advise film production companies on all stages of independent film production, including negotiating talent agreements and applicable licenses and releases. We handle contracts for individuals, such as artists, actors, social media influencers, and other talents. We understand our clients’ businesses and know how to navigate contractual limitations to obtain the most beneficial outcome for our clients in a highly cost-effective way.
We advise media and entertainment companies on matters ranging from corporate law to intellectual property law, including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and the infringement of those rights.
