Legal Services for Westchester Creatives

Client Agreements and Service Contracts

We draft and review client agreements for Westchester creative professionals that define project scope, deliverables, timelines, revision rounds, compensation, payment schedules, and ownership of the finished work. Clear client contracts prevent scope creep, payment disputes, and ownership confusion that can damage both the project and the client relationship.

Copyright Protection and Registration

We advise Westchester creatives on copyright protection strategies including federal copyright registration, copyright notices, and enforcement of rights against unauthorized use. For visual artists, designers, and photographers, registering copyrights before infringement occurs is critical for accessing statutory damages and attorney's fees in enforcement actions.

Licensing Agreements

We draft and negotiate licensing agreements for Westchester creative professionals, defining the scope, duration, territory, and compensation for the use of your creative work. Whether licensing images for commercial use, illustrations for publishing, or designs for merchandise, the license terms determine how your work is used and what you are paid.

Collaboration and Joint Venture Agreements

We structure agreements for Westchester creatives working on collaborative projects, defining each collaborator's contributions, ownership shares, credit provisions, revenue splits, and decision-making authority. Without a written agreement, disputes over ownership and credit can destroy both the project and the professional relationships involved.

Creative Business Formation

We help Westchester creative professionals form LLCs and other business entities that provide liability protection, tax advantages, and professional credibility. Structuring your creative practice as a business entity separates personal assets from business liabilities and provides a framework for growth.

Creative Industry in Westchester

Westchester creatives working with both local and Manhattan clients need contracts that reflect industry standards and protect their intellectual property. Whether you are a photographer licensing wedding images, a designer providing branding services, or an artist selling through galleries, proper legal structure supports your creative business.
