WHO I Help​
I work with artists, creators, and talent across entertainment, sports, and media—people who make the content, not the corporations who profit from it. If you create, perform, or produce, this practice is built for you.
FILM & TELEVISION TALENT

Whether you’re in front of the camera, behind the camera, writing the script,
performing stunts, arranging the music, or voicing a character–if you’re contributing to
the work, you deserve clear contracts and real protection.

  • Actors
  • Writers (Screenwriters, TV Staff Writers Show Creators/Runners)
  • Directors
  • Producers
  • Composers & Music Supervisors
  • Voice Actors Stunt Performers
Musical Talent

From writing hooks to packing venues, musical artists face an endless remix of contracts, credits, and copyright chaos. I help you protect your sound, your name, and your share—before the label, the manager, or the streaming platform takes the stage.

  • Recording Artists (Solo Acts, Bands, Rappers, Vocalists)
  • Songwriters & Composers
  • Producers
  • Session Musicians
  • Performing Artists
  • DJs & Electronic Artists
Athletes & Sports Entertainers

From NIL deals to endorsements, brand sponsorships, media appearances, and content monetization—modern athletes are more than players, they’re platforms. I provide contract review, brand protection, and legal strategy to athletes and sports entertainers, strictly as an attorney, not as an agent.

  • Profession or Semi-Pro Athletes
  • Extreme Sports Performers
  • Esports Competitors, Combat Sports Fighters, Fitness influences, NIL College Athletes
  • Retired Athletes Transition to Media, Endorsements, or Content Creation
Content Creators & Digital Talent

Whether you're growing a channel, launching a podcast, signing your first brand deal, or figuring out if that platform's contract is going to screw you later—I help content creators lock down their rights, protect their voice, and keep ownership of what they’ve built.

  • YouTubers and Video Creators
  • Podcasters and Co-Hosts
  • Streamers (Twitch, Kick, Etc.)
  • Influencers (Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads)
  • Online Educators and Coaches
Comedians & Live Performers

Comedy isn’t just laughs—it’s IP. Whether you’re headlining clubs, recording your first special, podcasting with friends, or turning your set into merch, your material needs legal protection. I help comedians and live performers lock down their content, control the deal, and keep the punchlines from being pirated. From YouTubers and podcasters to streamers and influencers—if you’re building content, you need legal armor.

  • Stand-up Comedians
  • Improv Performers
  • Sketch Comedians
  • Comedians with Podcasts Specials, YouTube Content, or Filmed Shows
  • Joke Writers
Media Personalities & Public Figures

Whether you're anchoring a show, moderating a panel, a seasoned contributor, or someone who just went viral for better or worse—if you're interviewing, being interviewed, filmed, or quoted, you need someone in your corner. Your voice, image, and reputation are valuable—and vulnerable. I help hosts, guest contributors, and unexpected public figures navigate contracts, protect their voice, and make sure a 15-minute moment doesn’t cost a lifetime of rights.

  • TV & Radio Show Hosts
  • News Contributors and Analysts
  • Subject-Matter Experts, Commentators, and Advocates
  • Everyday People Suddenly Thrust Into The spotlight–Through Virality, Controversy, Whistleblowing, Public Events, or Heroics
MY PRACTICE AREAS

Creative work deserves clear legal protection. I offer targeted legal services tailored for artists, performers, athletes, and content creators navigating today’s complex media and entertainment world. Whether you’re reviewing a contract, registering your work, forming a business, or dealing with a streaming platform’s fine print—I help you move forward with confidence. My approach is clear, client-first, and focused on real-world needs. You won’t get legal jargon or unnecessary complexity—just practical advice, responsive support, and a commitment to protecting your voice, your rights, and your future in the industry.

Contracts are more than paperwork—they define your rights, responsibilities, payments, and creative control. Whether you’re about to sign a talent agreement, publishing deal, sponsorship offer, or distribution contract, it’s essential to understand what you’re agreeing to before you commit.

I review, draft, and negotiate contracts for filmmakers, musicians, athletes, writers, influencers, and performers of all kinds. My job is to identify unclear terms, hidden traps, and clauses that limit your control or cut into your future earnings. I’ll explain every key point in plain English, then work with you to adjust or push back where needed. If you’re offering a contract to others, I can help draft one that reflects your terms, protects your IP, and minimizes future disputes.

Whether you’re at the start of a project, reviewing a long-term agreement, or renegotiating an outdated deal, I provide honest, detail-oriented legal guidance. My approach centers on clarity, fairness, and your long-term creative freedom. A good contract today can prevent years of frustration later.

 Copyright law is your creative safety net—it establishes legal ownership of your original work and gives you the power to control who uses it, how, and for how long. But many creators skip this step or rely on informal proof of ownership, which can lead to serious problems down the line.

I help artists, writers, performers, and content creators understand and secure their copyright protections. That starts with registering your work properly through the U.S. Copyright Office, which is often necessary before you can enforce your rights. Whether it’s a song, script, photo, podcast episode, or social media content, official registration strengthens your legal standing and adds clarity in case of disputes.

Beyond registration, I advise on licensing, work-for-hire agreements, collaborations, and usage terms—helping you retain as much ownership and control as possible. I also handle infringement claims, DMCA takedowns, and unauthorized content use.

In short: I make sure what you create stays yours—and you remain the one who decides how it’s used and shared.

From influencer partnerships to brand sponsorships, endorsement deals, licensing agreements, and affiliate relationships—every opportunity to monetize your name, content, or audience comes with a contract. But many of these agreements are written to benefit the brand, not the creator.

I help you understand what’s at stake in these deals, from intellectual property rights to payment structures, usage clauses, exclusivity, termination terms, and future limitations. Whether you’re a YouTuber entering a merch partnership, a musician considering a sync licensing deal, or a fitness influencer negotiating a brand campaign, I’ll ensure your value is protected and clearly defined.

I also assist with NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) agreements for college athletes and social media creators, ensuring you retain control over how your personal brand is used now and in the future. My goal is to help you build smart, long-term income without accidentally giving away more than you bargained for.

Every deal has fine print—and I make sure yours works in your favor.

Turning your creative work into a business isn’t just smart—it’s essential. I help creators, freelancers, and performers form LLCs and other entities that protect personal assets, simplify taxes, and create a professional foundation for growth.

From choosing the right structure to filing with your state, drafting operating agreements, and understanding compliance requirements, I guide you through every step of business formation. But I don’t stop there—I also explain how to operate your business legally and efficiently once it’s formed.

Whether you’re running a solo podcast, collaborating with partners on a production company, or growing a brand as a coach or influencer, setting up the right business structure now saves stress, risk, and money down the road. I help you think ahead: to taxes, liability, intellectual property ownership, contracts, and more.

Acting like a business isn’t about being corporate—it’s about being ready. I help you build a solid foundation that reflects your goals and protects your creative life.

Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, Twitch, and Instagram offer creators global reach—but they also come with restrictive policies, vague monetization rules, and terms that often favor the platform. Understanding what you’re really agreeing to is key to protecting your content and income.

I help creators interpret platform terms of service, partner programs, ad revenue models, and monetization systems. That includes clarifying rights ownership, takedown policies, algorithm risks, and limitations on your content or income. If you’ve been flagged, demonetized, or dropped from a program, I’ll help assess your next move.

Planning to launch a new channel, course, or podcast? I can help you draft content terms, host contracts, and contributor agreements that preserve your control. I also advise creators using platforms like Patreon, Gumroad, or Substack on how to structure their offerings legally.

You put in the creative work—I make sure platforms don’t take more than they should.

Your personal brand is more than just a name—it’s your image, voice, likeness, and reputation. These assets are valuable, especially as your audience grows. I help you protect and control how you’re seen, heard, and represented.

That includes right-of-publicity protection (against unauthorized use of your face, voice, or name), personal brand strategy, and image control. If you’ve been impersonated online, used in content without permission, or targeted in a false or misleading way, I can help assess the situation and craft a response—whether through legal takedowns or direct communication.

I also assist with reputation management for creators who suddenly find themselves in the public eye, whether from virality, controversy, or news coverage. I ensure that any media, licensing, or brand deals related to your image are clear, ethical, and protective of your long-term career.

Whether you’re rising in your field or just starting to build your voice, I help you claim your identity—and protect it every step of the way.
