In some cases, creatives find themselves experiencing mental blocks and as deadlines loom, the intellectual property (IP) of one entertainer, whether it is a songwriter, an artist, or an author, can wind up being circulated as the IP of another. For example, in 1976, author Alex Haley released the pivotal epic Roots: The Saga of an American Family, which earned a Pulitzer Prize and led to a miniseries that kept rapt viewers watching as it dominated TV ratings. Haley marketed the book as a true story tracing his ancestry back...

Posted by admin
in Entertainment Law

Because of the variety of different ways entertainment companies pay actors, contracts for entertainers can be complex works. Many of the biggest payments to television and film stars, for example, are on the back end, through residuals or royalties, and contracts need to stipulate the percentage an actor might be paid for shows that are airing in syndication or on a streaming service such as Netflix or Hulu. And when it comes to how much money can be made in royalties, it all comes down to the contract. TV Stars Can Make Bank, or Not, Depending on the Contract For example, the stars...

Child Custody Cases Can be Brutal

Posted by admin
in Family Law

Child custody cases can be the most heated part of divorce proceedings, and are often combative, contentious battles, greatly impacting children in a negative manner. One of the worst public custody battles was between “Real Housewives of New York” star Bethenny Frankel and her ex-husband, Jason Hoppy.

Posted by admin
in Business Litigation Attorney

Business owners juggle many different job titles, but one unlikely occupation is fortune teller. That’s why buy-sell agreements are such invaluable documents for businesses that are owned by multiple parties or if a business owner has multiple heirs.

There was a time when some people were confused about their LGBTQ status, or worked hard to hide it, often getting married and having children in order to prevent anyone from knowing their truth. However, as times changed and generational shifts occurred, acceptance and understanding spread, and legal protections for members of the LGBTQ community were put into place. That acceptance allowed many of the people who were hiding their sexual identity to come out, a move that unfortunately leads to divorce. Before the cultural changes, most courts would have awarded children to the heterosexual parent automatically; today, family law ensures that...
