Practice Areas

Entertainment Law

The Law Firm of Rosalind Lichter provides counsel for all aspects of entertainment law, including film (narrative features and documentaries), television, book publishing, and digital media. Our clientele ranges from Fortune 500 companies to startups, and includes producers, directors, authors, and business professionals. We are recognized experts in intellectual property, copyright, licensing, and life rights.

Our entertainment law expertise complements our work in corporate and employment law. As digital distribution changes not just the range of legal issues but the players themselves, our industry-specific knowledge becomes more valuable to our clients. We have worked with major and “mini” distributors, and negotiated arrangements with the big streaming services. We have provided counsel for projects in New York, Los Angeles, and around the world.

Executive Employment Law

The Law Firm of Rosalind Lichter represents senior executives in the fields of entertainment, publishing, securities, and architecture, as well as other privately and publicly owned companies. We help negotiate all stages of employment agreements: hiring, extensions of existing contracts, and severance.

Our knowledge of these industries and their key personnel helps us gives us the expertise you need to structure and negotiate sophisticated arrangements. We tailor our services to our clients, making us more cost effective than a larger firm.

Corporate Law

For corporate entities that lack the resources for full-time, in-house counsel, The Law Firm of Rosalind Lichter represents an ideal solution: we provide outside counsel tailored to your business’ needs.

Our work includes structuring mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and partnerships. We negotiate and draft shareholder, nondisclosure, operating, and employment agreements. We also help arrange financing, not only for film, television and theater productions, but for businesses unrelated to entertainment.
