Media Law for Creators, Broadcasters, and Publishers

You’re using someone else’s work.
Or they’re using yours.

The law is the same. The risk is not. I help creators, broadcasters, and publishers understand what actually matters— before it turns into a problem, or after it already has.

Tell me what you’re dealing with

Give me 30 seconds. If this sounds like your situation, we should talk.

Just a few of the situations that I handle:

I got a takedown notice.

Not every notice is valid. Not every response is smart.

I need a contract reviewed before I sign it.

Before you lock yourself in, know what the paper actually does.

Used a clip you didn’t create?

Before you publish, know where the real risk is.

Not a general firm. Not generic advice.

Most media lawyers recite risk and tell you no.
I know the law. I also know how content actually gets made.

This goes both ways.

Sometimes you used something and now there’s a problem.
Sometimes someone used your work and you need it handled.

Same law. Same risks. Different leverage.

Most of these situations are not about proving a point.
They are about resolving risk and moving forward.

I work on both sides of that line.
