Entertainment and Media Law
Our lawyers provide a full array of services in the film, television, music, theatre, digital media and Internet industries. We represent clients in negotiating and protecting their intellectual property rights, licensing and distributing content, music publishing, merchandising, touring, acquiring and clearing rights, negotiating royalties and resolving disputes. We also take pride in helping our clients negotiate innovative advertising and promotional opportunities to further develop their brand. Whether negotiating recording, management or partnership agreements for our musically inclined clients, or preparing production and distribution agreements for our television producers and filmmakers, our lawyers are proud of the personal relationships they form with our clients. The Entertainment and Media Law Practice Group also represents clients in the ever-changing and evolving area of on-demand “New Media.” We have assisted clients with issues related to privacy, data security, technology and intellectual property as they relate to various Internet, video game, digital and online multimedia outlets. Our attorneys have assisted clients in the field of mobile, social and digital media, working to protect their interest in user generated content, product placement, sponsorship, rights of publicity, and other areas through the preparation and negotiation of various New Media and technology agreements. Our lawyers also represent concert promoters and venues specializing in the production of musical and entertainment-related performances. For these clients, we provide comprehensive consultation and advocacy with respect to a variety of actions, including personal injury and premises liability claims, ordinance compliance, incident investigation and vendor disputes. While we work hard to avoid litigation on behalf of our clients, when litigation becomes necessary, our lawyers work hand-in-hand with our clients to strategize the most effective and cost-efficient manner by which to resolve often complicated and expensive disputes. We often coordinate with our litigation and dispute resolution colleagues at Swanson, Martin & Bell, LLP, who are uniquely qualified to advocate on behalf of our clients in the courtroom with respect to complex entertainment-related disputes involving copyright infringement, royalty disputes, trademark claims, breach of contract, defamation and First Amendment claims, advertising injury, Digital Millennium Copyright Act claims, and rights of publicity and privacy. |
