Photography
Our lawyers have rich backgrounds in the arts and in representing commercial and artistic photographers. We are skilled in the various intellectual property areas that apply most to photographers and their work, ranging from copyright and rights issues to licensing and work-for-hire agreements. We have direct experience with licensing agencies of many types and with the kinds of issues photographers encounter. We have experience in structuring relationships such as partnerships and joint ventures, and when disagreements arise, we are skilled at dispute resolution and, if need be, mediation, arbitration and litigation. We are also seasoned in the areas of not-for-profit law and organizations and for many years have assisted non-profit organizations as well as estates having photography and other intellectual property assets. A number of our lawyers have also served on not-for-profit arts organization boards and have direct, hands-on experience with exhibition and rights issues that arise when organizations are assisting or working with artists’ work. Further, several of our lawyers have advanced degrees in the arts and direct personal or professional arts backgrounds, which enhances our knowledge, instinct and ability to serve our clients well in this area.
