What distinguishes our entertainment and the practice of art is our experience and breadth of legal services. We will not only draft and negotiate your agreement and handle the intellectual property issues that arise, but also will pursue claims or defend one if a dispute arises. You won’t have to go to another firm to have your disputes handled – we are skilled, aggressive litigators and trial attorneys.
We also strive, however, to craft a “win-win” solution and provide the type of representation that will facilitate our client’s longevity in the entertainment business.
