We work both sides of the music business. We represent recording artists, songwriters, and producers. We also represent the labels, publishers, distributors, and management companies they deal with. Our work covers record deals, joint ventures, publishing and administration agreements, producer and featured artist agreements, clearances, distribution, and touring and management agreements. Because we sit on every side of these deals, we know what is standard, what is negotiable, and where the leverage is. Whatever the deal, we make sure you understand every term before you sign, and that you keep as much ownership, control, and flexibility as possible.
We represent talent and companies alike. That includes actors, writers, directors, hosts, and content creators, along with the studios, networks, and production companies that develop and distribute their work. We handle talent agreements, development and production deals, option and rights agreements, and distribution and licensing. Screen deals are full of terms that matter years later: backend, ownership, exclusivity, credit. We translate them into plain English and negotiate them in your favor, whichever seat you hold at the table.
For athletes, creators, and public figures, the deals off the field matter as much as the ones on it. We handle endorsements and sponsorships, name, image, and likeness deals, appearances, licensing, and the brand partnerships and equity deals that turn a personal brand into a business. Every deal gets the same treatment: clear terms, protected rights, and no surprises in the fine print.
We act as outside counsel for entertainment companies, including independent labels, management and production companies, podcasts, media ventures, tech companies and platforms, startups, agencies, and brands. We also represent the executives and founders who run them. The work is whatever a business needs to run and grow: employment and consulting agreements, vendor and services deals, partnerships and joint ventures, and licensing. If your business touches entertainment and there is a contract involved, it fits here. You get deep deal experience with the responsiveness of an in-house team.
