Areas of Practice

Music

Adam has represented musical artists in securing trademarks for their names and logos, and in protecting the originality of their lyrics, rhythms, and compositions through copyright. Beyond protection, Adam guides clients through drafting and negotiating contracts that shape their careers—covering recording, publishing, licensing, distribution, sponsorship, and merchandising.

For every artist, the goal is the same: to build a career on solid ground. Adam’s role is to safeguard the creative and business side of music so that passion and artistry can thrive.

Television, Film & Theater

The way people consume entertainment is constantly in flux, so the laws must adapt quickly. Adam strives to anticipate these changes so you can focus more on creating a performance of a lifetime. Drafting and negotiating sales & distribution agreements, tailoring each contract according to a project’s scope, size, and budget, we secure the appropriate creative rights for all talents involved.

Fashion, Apparel & Textile Law

Fashion moves fast, with trends and designs often outpacing the clarity of the rules that govern them. There’s a lot of potential for growth, but the legal landscape can be convoluted and vague at best. Protecting a brand or even a single design involves intellectual property, copyrights, trademarks, and patents. Adam has experience in all of the above and represents boutique designers like Milanblocks, as well as, illustrators and graphic designers. He protect their products against copycats large and small, and guides them through manufacturing ethics and labeling laws.

Intellectual Property

Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market. Whether it is secured disclosure of inventions and technological advancements with thorough prosecution and strategic enforcement, securing and defending brand names, logos, and identities that carry a business forward., safeguarding creative works, from art and writing to software and digital content, or advising companies how to manage employees when the business at its core revolves around trade secrets, Adam know how to protect the valuables.

Digital Media & Technology

The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler, but behind the curtain are fluctuating challenges in protection and monetization; challenges that our firm stays two steps ahead of. Adam helps engineers, inventors, software application startups, and entrepreneurs develop, license, sell, and maintain ownership over their creations. He has also negotiated purchasing and partnership agreements for larger investment companies looking for their unicorn.

Liability & Risk

Whatever business you run, all must minimize their legal liability and risk. Adam will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company you have filed under (LLC, Inc, etc.), and so on. From there, he will tailor the right risk plan, complete with permit applications, insurance policies, and more, so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.
