Live Arts

Practice Overview

From the concert stage to the theatrical stage, we understand the intricacies and thrill of live music, dance, and theatre.

We have experience representing some of the world’s leading artists, composers, and performing arts companies in copyright, music licensing, grand rights, and theatrical production matters.

We support the development of new commissions, as well as the enhancement of underlying rights. We counsel live arts venues, including casinos within our Tribal Nations practice, in all types of live production, presentation, and recording matters.

We draft and negotiate:

• personal appearance agreements
• commissioning agreements
• grand rights license agreements
• live stage theatrical production contracts
• custom arrangement and adaptation licenses for popular acts
