About the course

At the core, an ?Entertainment Lawyer? provides legal advice, counsel and representation to companies and individuals (talent) in the entertainment industries, including TV, movies, radio, music, theater, publishing, digital media and video games. Although entertainment lawyers might represent directors, actors or musicians, they more often advise companies that produce and distribute entertainment content, license celebrity brands, purchase and sell companies or music catalogues. The areas of law most frequently associated with the field are intellectual property, contracts, corporate, employment/labor, securities, international, taxation, immigration, and litigation. Entertainment law is a demanding career that requires a firm grounding substantive law, and practical skills relating to the entertainment industry.

　　The entertainment track prepares students to represent the full spectrum of collaborators in the entertainment industry.

　　In addition to directors, actors or musicians, entertainment lawyers more often advise companies that produce and distribute entertainment content, license celebrity brands, purchase and sell companies or music catalogues. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
