From influencers to actors, directors to writers, film financiers to producers — the entertainment umbrella is as vast as it is complex. Having studied and negotiated a range of entertainment deals, we can guide you on what is standard, what’s trending, and how to be creative and strategic in entertainment deal-making. We understand the intricacies of an independent film finance agreement, and the immense value of a single Instagram post.
For this reason, we always lead with the most important facet: your value.
We’ll ensure your licensing, talent, and employment agreements serve your best interests. We’ll be your first line of defense against any “funny business” or contractual language that can hinder your long-term success. We’ll consult you throughout your career, helping you identify the pros and cons of every opportunity thrown your way.
Our services include but are not limited to:
• Negotiating individual agreements (talent, licensing, employment, production)
• Content clearance and review
• General strategy and consultation (personal rights protection, invasion of privacy)

We’ll focus on protecting your best interests (and getting you paid); you focus on developing your talents and landing your dream project.

Running a media company means you’re constantly charting new terrain. You’re tasked with empowering the creative to build content that influences change, incites catharsis, and represents a brand’s ethos. In a litigious world, this ever-changing territory comes with inherent risk.
Additionally, the creative process and the art that comes from it do not exist in a vacuum. Intellectual property rights and other legal nuances are major points that directly impact and help you monetize off of your creative work! We’ll work with you to create flexibility, bring your vision to light, and identify and handle the legal issues that are at play behind the scenes. At Create, not only do we refine and fortify your business’ legal structures, we also help you navigate the many nuances within media.
