[Please note that the Nissenbaum Law Group does not serve as an entertainment agency, nor does it shop its clients for production or distribution deals.]

The need for complex entertainment law representation is nationwide. In that regard, the Nissenbaum Law Group has offices in the northeast (New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey) and the south (Texas). This provides an important toehold for film studios, producers, directors, performers, distributors, financers, publicists and cinematographers and soundtrack production companies (a) that are not solely based on the west coast and/or (b) that want to be involved in productions that utilize locations and/or talent in other parts of the United States.

The firm has extensive experience in the legal aspects of major motion picture production negotiation and drafting. This includes the nuances of monetizing the income streams available from intellectual property in the context of entertainment vehicles that are both digital and also those that involve theatrical distribution.

Some of the key legal matters that have arisen in the firm’s major motion picture practice include aspects of the following:

Indeed, representing clients with regard to the items on the above list raises some common questions and concerns. They include (a) how to register copyrights and trademarks for entertainment-related intellectual property, (b) how to negotiate both a front-end and back-end deal for the monetization of the film, television or musical production and (c) how to structure the contractual enforcement rights to maintain confidentiality of the dispute so as not to tarnish the brand.

The Nissenbaum Law Group welcomes inquiries from clients involved in any aspect of major motion picture production, including film studios, producers, directors, performers, talent agents, distributors, financers, publicists, cinematographers, soundtrack composers and engineers. The firm not only practices entertainment law from its offices in New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Dallas, Texas; and Union, New Jersey, but also handles matters in other states in accordance with the local multi-jurisdictional rules.
