Entertainment law
for people who
make things.

Intellectual property protection, underlying rights acquisitions, option and purchase agreements, and chain-of-title analysis for all media projects.
Our Specialty
Music-visual
deal complexity.
The convergence of music rights and visual content has created a category of deal that most firms aren't equipped to handle. Synchronization, estate rights, archival licensing, label negotiations, and streaming platform deals — all in a single transaction. This is where we specialize.
Music + Screen
When a documentary, biopic, or series is built around an artist or catalog, the rights landscape spans masters, publishing, sync, and estates simultaneously.
No Other Boutique Owns It
Larger firms have scale. We have depth — and a track record that proves it at the deal table.
The Team
Senior counsel. Direct access.
Every client works directly with a founding attorney — someone who has sat across the table from the buyers, run business affairs from the inside, and built the platform relationships that define today's entertainment landscape.
