Entertainment Law Services for Westchester Clients

Contract Negotiation and Review

Westchester artists, authors, content creators, and entertainment 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. Westchester artists, authors, content creators, and entertainment 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. Westchester artists, authors, content creators, and entertainment 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. Westchester artists, authors, content creators, and entertainment 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

Westchester artists, authors, content creators, and entertainment 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 Westchester Entertainers and Creators Should Know

Westchester County is home to musicians, authors, media professionals, and content creators who participate in the New York entertainment market. Whether you work primarily in Westchester or commute to Manhattan for industry business, your legal needs are the same: contract protection, intellectual property registration, and proper business structures.

Westchester authors and writers should understand that publishing contracts, ghostwriting agreements, and content licensing deals all involve rights transfers that can affect your ability to use your own work in the future. Legal review before signing is essential.

Westchester creators who earn income from multiple sources, including royalties, brand deals, production work, and performances, should consider entity structuring that optimizes tax treatment and liability protection across all income streams.
