Copyright Attorneys

We provide comprehensive copyright representation for creators, brands, businesses, and cultural institutions. Our attorneys handle registration, licensing, enforcement, and litigation, working with clients across publishing, technology, media, consumer products, and the arts. Whether you are securing rights in original works, structuring agreements to monetize creative assets, or responding to infringement, our team delivers practical counsel grounded in real-world business objectives.

Full-Service Copyright Representation

We work with businesses, individual creators, and institutions to protect and leverage creative works at every stage. Our copyright practice spans four core areas.

Registration & Protection
We advise on copyrightability, prepare and file applications with the U.S. Copyright Office, and develop protection strategies tailored to each client's portfolio. Timely registration strengthens enforcement options and positions our clients to recover statutory damages and attorney fees in the event of infringement.
Licensing & Transactions
Copyright transfers and licenses require precision. Our attorneys draft and negotiate licensing agreements, assignment contracts, and work-for-hire arrangements that clearly define rights, royalties, and obligations. We also conduct copyright due diligence in M&A and investment transactions to assess the strength and scope of creative assets.
Enforcement & Litigation
When copyrights are infringed, we act decisively. Our attorneys handle DMCA takedown campaigns, pre-suit demand and negotiation strategies, and federal court litigation through trial and beyond. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in disputes involving unauthorized reproduction, distribution, and digital piracy.
Collections & Cultural Institutions
Museums, libraries, and archives face nuanced copyright challenges unique to their collections and public-facing missions. We advise on rights clearance for exhibitions and publications, orphan works, digitization programs, and fair use analyses, providing practical guidance through even the most complex rights questions.
