General Business

Entertainment businesses are just like any other businesses. Choosing an entity, investor relations, stock and shareholder issues, and the establishment of relationships with third parties are concerns across industries. We work with innovators, entrepreneurs, and established businesses alike to set up business frameworks appropriate to their needs and provide counsel on a wide range of business legal issues.

Our expertise includes:

Employment

The backbone to any company, entertainment or other, is your people. Good handbooks, internal policies and employee agreements help create a strong work force and a stable work environment. We create confidentiality, non-compete and non-disclosure agreements, procedures and policies tailored to your specific industry and business needs. We work with you to write handbooks that not only comply with state and federal law but also fit your company culture.

Entity Formation

Just as important as the people, is the infrastructure of the business. Limited liability company or sole proprietorship, investor or startup, for profit or non-profit - we work with new and established businesses to develop a strong infrastructure. We counsel clients on how to organize their corporate structure and how to choose a legal entity appropriate for their needs, as well as creating legal documents to support their entities.

General Counsel

Sometimes, a client needs more than handling a singular matter. For many of our clients, we serve as outside general counsel, managing all of their legal affairs and day to day questions. We work with our clients to establish strong working relationships with their third party partner by negotiating and drafting third party agreements such as master services agreements, distribution agreements, software and other business contracts. We have a virtual open door policy.

We also advise on:

• Domain name issues

• Business entity formation

• Brand collaboration agreements
