CDRK Law is a transactional entertainment law firm for artists, athletes, actors, producers, executives, and the companies shaping entertainment.
Every client gets our full attention, not just the biggest names. We stay hands on at every stage, so you get quick answers and steady updates. We keep your deal moving instead of letting it sit, from start to finish.
We take the time to understand what you are building, your creative vision, your audience, where you want to go. For our music clients, that includes listening to the music. Then we help you make decisions that serve the long-term direction of your career or company.
For more than a decade, we have worked with artists, actors, creators, television personalities, labels, publishers, studios, and production companies, on both sides of the table. We know what is customary, where to push, and how today’s deal affects tomorrow’s options.
The entertainment industry is hard to figure out. Contracts are long and confusing. Navigating which deals are the best for your long-term career can be daunting. You are often asked to sign something that will lock you in for years. On top of that, the standard for lawyers in this industry has become that they are slow and unresponsive. We have seen what it costs people.
That is not our standard. We keep the firm small on purpose. That way you get real attention at every stage of your career, not just once you have “made it.” You will never wonder where your deal stands. We move quickly and carefully, explaining every term in plain English before you sign. We advise you on which deals serve your long-term goals, and we work to close deals on your terms. Our team works next to you and handles the legal side, so you can focus on creating and building.
We work with artists, songwriters, producers, actors, athletes and creators, and with labels, publishers, studios and brands. We handle record and publishing deals, film and TV agreements, endorsements and licensing. Ciara Reed has spent more than a decade negotiating them, on both sides of the table.
Your contract shapes your future. Let’s make sure it is a good one.
