Music Law
We have drafted and negotiated a wide variety of music related agreements in the digital and the traditional music worlds; including record label , distribution , publishing, co-writer, producer and mix engineer, partnership and member, independent contractor and work for hire agreements and more. We register and enforce trademarks and copyrights. We represent musicians, managers, songwriters, music technology companies and record labels. We understand the current state of the music business and work with our clients to help them achieve success in innovative ways. And when a dispute arises, we work with our clients to resolve that dispute quickly and efficiently.
Litigation
In representing our clients, we work proactively with them to help protect their assets and prevent disputes and litigation. Our collective over 35 years of litigation and trial experience makes us uniquely situated to anticipate potential problems for our clients. But when our clients find themselves in a dispute - as experienced, successful trial lawyers who know our clients’ businessess, we handle it personally.
Moreover, at the beginning of our representation, we first employ our mediation and arbitration skills and experience to bring the parties to mutually beneficial resolutions that avoid the costs and stress on resources that litigation inevitably brings.
Intellectual Property
We possess a great deal of experience assisting our clients in a wide variety of intellectual property matters - specifically with respect to matters involving trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, domain name registration, royalty and infringement disputes and litigation. We are well-versed in both state and federal intellectual property laws as well as those laws governing the registration, use and/or enforcement of properties overseas.
Business Transactions
Whatever your drafting needs, we can fulfill them, including agency, licensing and sublicensing, formation, asset sales, start up and early stage companies, contracts, employment agreements, commercial leases, property/boundary and title disputes, buy–sell agreements, conservatorships, and franchise and distribution agreements. And often we can bill you on a fixed fee basis for this work.
