Practice Areas

Music Law

 

From DIY to an Independent Record Label to signing a major label deal, we take pride in clearly explaining and navigating the often foggy landscape of the music industry. We help our clients draft and negotiate contracts relating to recording, publishing, licensing and distribution, artist management, booking, sponsorship and merchandising. We assist with issues like production agreements, sample clearance, royalty disputes, and split sheets for your next collab.

Television, Film & Theater

 

Our firm counsels content creators in structuring and negotiating deals ranging from film, television, and documentary series production to product placements, celebrity endorsements, rights and music clearances, and more. We draft and negotiate development deals, content creation funding, financing, and sales & distribution agreements.

Intellectual Property

 

We are closely involved in the development, protection and maintenance of our clients’ trademarks and copyrights. We’ll handle the search, application, and filing process of your intellectual property. And if your idea has been infringed upon, we will negotiate the best possible licensing and settlement agreements.

Business Formation

 

Let us help you start your business the right way. We can help with everything from LLC Formation to Operating Agreements, Joint Ventures, Employment Agreements, Independent Contractor Agreements, Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and whatever else your business needs to meet your goals.

Digital Media & Technology

 

When it comes to the internet, software, and technology, we assist our clients in navigating the challenges of protection and monetization of their digital media. We can help software engineers, developers, gaming startups, and entrepreneurs license, sell, and maintain ownership over their creations.

Liability & Risk

 

Whether you run a venue, recording studio, or a record label, all businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. We will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company you have filed under (LLC, Inc, etc.), and so on. From there, we will tailor the right risk plan, complete with the proper liability forms, insurance policies, and more, so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.
