Contract Negotiation and Review

Queens musicians, filmmakers, content creators, and media professionals negotiate contracts that determine their income, creative control, and career trajectory. We review and negotiate recording contracts, management agreements, publishing deals, licensing agreements, distribution contracts, and production agreements. Our goal is to ensure you understand every term before you sign and that the deal reflects your value.

Music Law

Music industry contracts involve complex issues around publishing rights, master recordings, royalty structures, synchronization licenses, and distribution. Queens musicians, filmmakers, content creators, and media professionals need counsel who understands these structures. We handle recording agreements, producer contracts, co-writing splits, sync licensing, and disputes over music rights and royalties.

Film, Television, and Production

Production projects require contracts with talent, crew, locations, distributors, and financiers. We draft and review production agreements, talent agreements, location releases, distribution deals, and financing documents. Queens musicians, filmmakers, content creators, and media professionals working in film and television benefit from counsel who understands production workflows and industry standards.

Intellectual Property Protection

Creative work has value only when properly protected. We handle copyright registration, trademark filing for entertainment brands, and enforcement against unauthorized use. Queens musicians, filmmakers, content creators, and media professionals should register their work with the U.S. Copyright Office and consider trademark protection for brand names, logos, and stage names used in commerce.

Influencer and Brand Partnerships

Content creators and influencers negotiate brand deals, sponsorship agreements, and partnership contracts that involve deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity, compensation, and FTC compliance. We review and negotiate these agreements to protect your creative freedom and ensure you are fairly compensated for your work and audience.

Entertainment Business Formation

Queens musicians, filmmakers, content creators, and media professionals who form production companies, record labels, publishing entities, or creative agencies need proper business structures. We handle LLC and corporation formation, operating agreements, partnership structures, and joint venture agreements for entertainment businesses. The right structure protects your personal assets and positions the business for growth.

What Queens Entertainers and Creators Should Know

Queens has produced some of the most influential figures in hip-hop, film, and media, and the borough continues to foster new creative talent. The Astoria and Long Island City areas in particular have become hubs for production and media work. Queens creators who are building careers in entertainment need to understand the legal frameworks that protect their work and income.

Queens musicians working with independent labels should pay close attention to contract terms around recoupment, ownership of masters, and reversion rights. These terms determine when and whether you see royalty income from your recordings.

Content creators and influencers in Queens should understand that brand deals are legally binding contracts. The deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity terms, and payment schedules should all be clearly defined before you begin creating content for a brand partner.
