Art, Streaming & Entertainment Law
Seeing the whole field — economics, technology, IP, cultural infrastructure.
The discipline.
Practice areas include music licensing and recording agreements, streaming and platform contracts, film and television deals, gallery and dealer agreements, art tokenization, artist estates and archives, digital-replica consent (ELVIS Act, AB 2602/2839, NO FAKES Act when enacted), and entertainment IP litigation.
Art, Streaming & Entertainment Law is the discipline of representing the people who make culture and the businesses that move it. Streaming is not an addendum to entertainment law — it is the central economic fact of the field. Royalty structures, platform-specific terms, the difference between a deal that pays a creator and a deal that looks like it pays a creator, the way a master recording's revenue flows through six platforms and three intermediaries before it reaches the artist. We know this terrain. We also represent fine artists — gallery agreements, tokenization of physical works, postmortem rights, archive transfers — and the cultural businesses that move work between markets.
For our clients in this space, our Juris Automata platform builds custom agents that monitor opportunities: new streaming markets, gallery openings, licensing deals, platform terms changes, infringement alerts. The agents do not replace counsel. They make sure the artist or business owner sees what is happening before it is too late to act.
