Entertainment Law
Many people don’t know what entertainment law really is. Suffice it to say that it is also called media law because it is an interesting and eclectic mix of various other better-known legal categories whose main focus is providing legal advice and services to the entertainment industry.
For the most part though, entertainment law usually revolves around the following areas of law:
- Intellectual property law
- Employment law
- Labor Law
- Immigration
- Securities Law
- Security Interests
- Agency
- Trademarks
- Copyright
- International Law
- Insurance Law
At the Barron Law Office, you will find that much of the work happens to be transaction based, which simply means they deal with drafting contracts, handling negotiations and mediation. This isn’t to say that there isn’t at times recourse to arbitration or litigation – skills that the Barron Law Office attorney’s have a solid reputation for handling well and delivering an anticipated outcome.
This is an area of law that has a bright lights side to it and a stack of paperwork side to it, both of which are not only challenging, but stretch the imagination to resolve disputes that arise. There isn’t a day that goes by that something interesting doesn’t come from working in this field.
The most fascinating fact is that this area of the law also breaks down into various sub-categories that revolve around certain trade unions, production techniques, negotiation strategies, case law and rules and customs. Some of the more diverse areas include film, (option agreements, talent agreements, etc.), music (talent and producer agreements), radio and TV (regulatory and licensing issues), theatre (co-production, rental agreements), multimedia (software, video games), publishing (print media, author agreements) and visual arts and design (fine arts, industrial design).
