Talent Representation
Whether artist, producer or independent filmmaker, our focus is on assisting clients in formulating and implementing sound business and financial strategies. From representation of talent for retention on a specific project, or assisting a director in cultivating an overall long-term strategy; we are committed to providing the best comprehensive counseling possible, including the drafting and negotiation of Artist's Management Contracts and Artist/Producer Agreements.
Media and Entertainment Finance
The proper financing vehicle is essential to every burgeoning project. We can assist in structuring and negotiating sound production and finance entities and JV relationships, including investor financing arrangements.
Music Transactions
We provide counsel and representation to music producers, record labels, artists, music publishers, sound engineers and songwriters. This includes the negotiation and drafting of producing agreements, recording agreements, music licenses, tour-related agreements and publicity contracts.
Motion Picture, Television and New Media Production, Distribution and Licensing
We advise and counsel clients on the full breadth of motion picture and television issues: development, finance, production and distribution of feature and television content. We can anticipate the direction of major players and major studios many moves in advance. With the advent and progression of digital formats, enhanced and interactive television, digital video recording and anti-piracy, we strive to stay ahead of the curve to provide clients with the latest information and protection.
Merchandise Licensing Contracts
With product placement becoming universal, issues surrounding the licensing, including merchandise licensing and the licensing of artist likenesses, are critical. We analyze all licensing possibilities with an eye to generate the greatest amount of revenue for our clients.
