Harrison Legal Group represents creators, broadcasters, publishers, podcasters, photographers, and media businesses. The work falls into a few recurring categories — but most people arrive with a situation, not a category. Start wherever it fits.
Start With a Resource Center
Copyright & Fair Use
Clips, reaction content, licensing, transformative use, infringement claims, demand letters, and unauthorized use of your work.
AI & Digital Rights
Voice cloning, deepfakes, synthetic media, AI training on your archive, platform disputes, Section 230, and algorithmic distribution.
Broadcaster Rights
Editing liability, soundbites, political broadcasting rules, podcast and radio risk, AI audio, and publishing exposure.
Defamation & Reputation
False statements, verification standards, AI hallucinations, impersonation, reviews, and reputation disputes.
Creator Protection
Unauthorized use, licensing terms, client usage disputes, voice and likeness, commercial use, and protecting creative work.
Trademark Protection
Name and logo clearance, applications, USPTO issues, licensing, cease-and-desist claims, and protecting a brand.

What I Handle
Intellectual Property
Copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Portfolio development, registration, management, and enforcement. Identifying what you own, protecting it, and acting when someone uses it without permission — including infringement litigation where it is warranted.
Contracts, Drafting & Negotiation
Production, talent, licensing, distribution, syndication, and employment agreements. Most deals still start with a handshake. Review before you sign is the cheapest legal work you will ever pay for.
Defamation, Publicity & Privacy
Defamation, false light, right of publicity, and privacy claims — brought or defended. Unfair and untrue reviews, impersonation, and coordinated reputation attacks across social platforms.
AI & Emerging Digital Media
Artificial intelligence, synthetic media, voice and likeness cloning, takedown notices, DMCA response, intellectual property scans, and platform enforcement.
Business Formation & Structure
Entity formation and upkeep for creators and media businesses — LLCs, corporations, and partnerships — structured around how your content and rights actually work.
How This Practice Is Different
Most media lawyers recite risk and tell you no. I know the law, and I also know how content actually gets made — more than 25 years in radio, television, and digital production before and alongside the legal work. When you hire a solo practitioner, you work directly with the lawyer on your matter.
I am also the author of Playing the Clip: The Definitive Digital Media Creator’s Guide to Fair Use (TALKERS Books, 2026), and associate publisher of TALKERS magazine.

Tell Me What Is Going On
You do not need to diagnose the legal category before asking for help. Describe the situation and I will tell you which issues actually matter — and whether you have a problem at all.
