Who We Are
We do more than negotiate contracts and solve legal problems.
We help clients produce projects and build careers, businesses, brands, intellectual property, and creative enterprises. We are producers, creators, entrepreneurs, and business strategists ourselves — so we understand the realities our clients face, because we face them too.
A boutique firm in New York and Los Angeles, we offer the sophisticated counsel and partner-level attention of a larger firm with the responsiveness and value growing businesses, creators, athletes, and rights holders deserve — a rare combination of legal expertise, business judgment, and creative perspective.
