What Does An Entertainment Lawyer Do?
Do you have a favorite movie or television show? If so, chances are that an entertainment lawyer helped make it happen. Entertainment lawyers work for film studios, production companies, and other businesses in the industry to protect their intellectual property rights as well as offer representation for Actors & Actresses, Musicians, Writers, Artists, and just about every other type of career involving fame. They negotiate contracts with actors and producers on the behalf of their employer. Sometimes they help develop new ideas for movies or television shows as well! Most Entertainment Attorneys are also experienced Business Attorneys and well versed in all forms of Business Law.
The entertainment lawyer's job can range from being a generalist to focusing on one aspect of the industry like contracts or copyright. Some lawyers may not work in-house for an employer, but instead, they work as independent agents and represent clients who need their services (much like other attorneys).

They can also help you protect your creative work and intellectual property. They can also help you find new opportunities to get funding for your project through a variety of sources. Entertainment lawyers have been around since the early 1900s and are needed in all aspects of the entertainment industry.
It takes an experienced lawyer with connections in this industry to make sure that your interests are protected from all angles.
