Entertainment Law

The entertainment business is just that – a business. In order to succeed, you have to make sure that you have a strong team in place to protect your interests. At Meehle & Jay, that is the role we were born to play.

ENTERTAINMENT LAW is a broad term for multiple, very distinct realms, such as fine art, music, film, literary, performance and design, to name but a few. An effective legal practitioner is familiar not only with the practicalities of working in these areas as a creative, performer, and advisor, but is also current and adept and the areas of law that are implicated: intellectual property (including copyright, trademark and right of publicity), contract, agency, defamation, and many others.

At Meehle & Jay, you can feel confident with the entertainment law services we provide because we immerse ourselves in these topics on a daily basis. We provide entertainment law services including, but not limited to:

  • Licensing Agreements (such as music, photography, software, trademark, and distribution)
  • Production Agreements (music, film, and television)

The entertainment business is just that – a business. In order to succeed, you have to make sure that you have a strong team in place to protect your interests. At Meehle & Jay, that is the role we were born to play.
