Practice Areas: Entertainment Law
Film, Music, Entertainment & Sports Law Attorneys
The local music scene in Seattle that spawned “grunge” in the late 1980s is still a hotbed of talent. Unfortunately for many bands and aspiring artists, creativity and exceptional ability in music, sports, or any other form of entertainment is not the only thing that artists must master in order to be successful in the entertainment field. Artists, athletes and other performers need to protect both their short-term interests and long-term career goals through sound planning and consideration of basic business, contract, and intellectual property principles involving partnerships, corporations, royalties, copyright, and trademarks.
Contracts: Musicians, Actors, Athletes & Entertainers
Aspiring artists and newly-professional athletes need to be careful when signing contracts. Initial artist and athletic services contracts are typically one-sided and unfair - most emerging artists and athletes are not able to support themselves while they continue working their craft, despite the fact that others are earning revenue from their work. Locking up-and-coming artists and athletes into exclusive contracts that can last for decades can create a situation where these individuals or groups are exploited and taken advantage of for their entire careers.
