Arts & Entertainment Law

 

Being artistic isn't as simple as it used to be. Getting your book published or publishing someone else's creative work is complex. The interactions of copyright, trademark, contract, privacy, publicity, and other areas of law must be successfully navigated. We help both authors and publishers work through these issues in order to successfully bring titles to market.

The music industry is one of the most complex forms of business on the planet. Visual artists don't just sit around making paintings anymore, and before you send in your script for the best new play to challenge Shakespeare, you better have your act together from all points of view-creative, business structure, and intellectual property.

The World Wide Web opens a galaxy of goodies such as globalization and vast amounts of information. Threats lurk in this new galaxy - spam, piracy, identity theft, viruses, and content infringements.

We live in a new and very dynamic dimension of governance on the internet. Whether you transact using the web or not, you need to be prepared. There are increasing liabilities just by engaging in on line dialog. Face the unknown with confidence.

Our arts & entertainment law services include: business formation, artists contracts, publishing contracts, joint venture planning, recording contracts, band agreements, copyright consulting, trademark consulting, and intellectual property enforcement. We work with everyone from song writers and fine artists to architects, playwrights, and recording studios, to movie producers, actors, and film festivals-the more creative, the better.
