From Royalties To Infringement Disputes, We Handle It All
From the initial consultation and pre-contract negotiations to the proper filing and registration of your work, Wolfe Law Miami has the ability and “know how” to ensure royalty income is garnered in a timely manner, audits are conducted regularly, and technology remuneration is fairly monitored. If deal terms are not complied with, we can litigate effectively on behalf of our clients.
Our entertainment lawyers cover virtually every aspect of the business, including drafting and negotiating:
- Performer, writer and producer agreements
- Television and film financing and distribution agreements
- Complex financing and revenue-sharing cross-discipline license agreements
We Understand Both The Industry And The Cash Flow Implications
Drafting skill is not the only requirement for compiling a thorough entertainment contract. A comprehensive understanding of the industry’s customs such as standard rates, royalties, business terms and deal points helps Wolfe Law Miami make a difference for our clients at the bargaining table.
We provide real-world advice about what can and cannot be negotiated in this specific and complex industry. Our lawyers are known as the “deal makers,” and through our contract knowledge, negotiating abilities and industry experience, we have worked out extremely complex entertainment deals. We help our clients with a full range of entertainment law matters, including:
- Crisis management and reputation defense: Protecting public figures, artists, entertainment entities and others from damaging publicity and scandals.
- Infringement disputes: Addressing unauthorized use of intellectual property, such as music, film, branding and other creative works.
- Music catalog and publishing acquisitions: Buying, selling and transferring ownership rights for collections of musical compositions and sound recordings, often involving complex valuations and contracts in the music industry
- Stadium and venue management agreements: Reviewing and drafting legal contracts governing the operation, booking, events and commercial aspects of sports arenas and entertainment venues
- Name image likeness (NIL) representation: Advising and negotiating deals for college-level and other athletes to monetize their personal brand, image and identity through endorsements and partnerships.
Most importantly, having spent 10 years as a Certified Public Accountant, Richard Wolfe looks at deals from a cash flow prospective. This gives us the ability to help clients maximize their rights and priorities.
