Scope.
The firm represents broadcasters, content owners, music-rights holders, talent, and advertisers in licensing disputes, royalty audits, agency-client breakdowns, and Lanham Act false-advertising matters. The practice does not undertake celebrity criminal-defense work or transactional packaging.

How engagements proceed.
Engagements begin with a confidential intake conducted personally by the principal. A brief written matter summary follows. Where the firm proceeds, the engagement letter sets a defined initial scope — typically through pleadings or early discovery — with milestones at which fee and strategy are jointly reassessed.
The firm communicates by direct phone and email. Document exchange is conducted through encrypted channels. Inquiries receive a substantive response within one business day.
Fee arrangements.
The firm offers hourly representation with monthly caps, fixed-fee engagements for defined matter phases, and hybrid contingent structures where appropriate. The firm does not engage on contingency alone in defense matters.
