Transactional Services

The entertainment industry runs on contracts, requiring a sophisticated understanding of the specialized terms that go into each deal. However, many transactional attorneys who draft these documents only think about how their drafting will fare at the negotiation table, not if it ever ends up in front of a judge — as so many entertainment contracts do. Our deep courtroom experience allows us to bulletproof client deals with keen litigation foresight.
