Entertainment, Media & Privacy - About
SmithAmundsen attorneys are uniquely qualified to meet the growing demands of this industry, as we concentrate in both litigated and transactional matters.
We have represented and counseled artists, musicians, event planners, promoters, gambling facilities, amusement parks, nightclubs/bars, restaurants, advertising agencies, public relations firms, record labels, and independent security companies and have defended cases based on breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraud, misappropriation, business interruption, and vicarious liability.
Our attorneys also offer a wide array of services to the film, television, music, and literary industries. We have worked with performers, promoters, broadcast media, television and cable networks, independent producers, record labels, venues, event planners, authors, and talent. Our transactional practice spans the entire entertainment industry and includes the inception and brokering of deals to negotiating and structuring the final contracts and ensuring compliance. We have sold story rights to major motion picture studios and have licensed music for use in independent films.
