Entertainment and media law covers the legal side of creative and publishing work. This often includes contracts for actors, writers, musicians, and producers; rights to use music, images, scripts, and other creative material; and agreements for film, television, theater, publishing, and digital content. It can also involve questions about copyright, trademarks, licensing, and the use of a person's name or likeness, as well as disputes between collaborators, agents, or distributors.
Organizations in this directory that list this area include solo practices, small and mid-sized law firms, and firms that also handle intellectual property or business matters. Some work mainly with individual artists, while others advise production companies, publishers, or media businesses. When choosing counsel, ask about experience with matters similar to yours, such as the type of agreement or the kind of project involved. You can also confirm that an attorney is registered and in good standing through the New York Attorney Search before moving forward.
