If you’re working with a brand, producing sponsored content, or building a platform, the deals you sign shape your business.
We review and negotiate influencer and content creator deals of all shapes and sizes, ensuring you know exactly what you’re agreeing to and can protect your brand, content, and revenue.

Got Questions?
Like what you’re seeing but don’t know where or how to start? That’s where we come in.
Why do I need entertainment-specific legal services?
Entertainment law covers issues unique to film, talent, influencers, investors, and media production. That includes things like rights clearance, licensing, royalties, and influencer contracts. Without strong, specialized legal guidance, you could face disputes, lose ownership of your work, or miss out on revenue.
How do you charge for your services?
We offer flat-fee pricing or negotiated retainers, depending on the project. For example, negotiating a talent deal may be hourly, while setting up a company might be flat-rate. You’ll always know what you’re paying for up front and we are excellent at finding ways to work within your budget.
Can you negotiate for me?
Yes. We regularly negotiate deals for our clients. That includes talent agreements, brand partnerships, sponsorships, investor deals, and more. We’ve supported our clients in negotiating deals with global brands as well as newly-established companies.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer payment plans. We have partnered with Affirm to offer easy-to-use payment options that let you take up to a year to pay.Do you help with international deals?
Yes. We frequently work with clients who are doing deals across countries, especially in digital media and film. We can guide you on what to watch out for and help you coordinate with trusted advisors if needed.
What do you need from me to get started?
Bring whatever you have. That might include draft contracts, investor proposals, previous agreements, business info, or details about the people or companies involved. You don’t have to figure everything out before hiring us.
