Transactional Entertainment Law

It’s called the “entertainment business” for a reason.  From the outside in, Music, Film, Television and other Media Industries may look like it’s all glitz, glamour and fun.  But for those on the inside, the key to building success and longevity is building a solid business foundation and strategic dealmaking. Transactional Entertainment Law involves the legal transactions and business dealings between companies and/or individuals in the entertainment industries. The Law Office of Heather Beverly, P.C. helps our clients plan for success by assisting them in navigating the numerous transactions and business dealings that are inherent to the business of entertainment.
