Celebrity Licensing
Our attorneys have experience advising celebrities engaging in business with third parties. We approach these transactions with the unique perspective of having been on every side of the table in these types of negotiations. We are highly skilled in the issues that arise in these transactions and leverage our knowledge and experience to achieve the best results for our clients.
These licensing agreements often involve the grant to third parties of the right to use our clients’ names, images, likenesses, and brands in connection with product endorsement and other commercial ventures. We use our expertise to make every effort to ensure that our clients’ intellectual property rights receive adequate protection.
