Legal Needs Within the Arts and Entertainment Industries
Like any other industry, the creative industry has concerns related to common issues such as business organization, employment, and taxes. However, unlike other industries, creatives have unique needs depending on the type of product or service they offer.
For example, most products and services developed by the creative industries contain significant elements of intellectual property. The creative output of these companies focuses on the development and distribution of authors’ works, such as songs, movies, video games, and books. Protecting this intellectual property is critical to the success of any artistic business.
If you are an artist or run an entertainment organization, you deserve the benefit of expert legal counsel for artists to address these issues, as well as matters such as:
- Licensing agreements
- Art donation and loan agreements
- Contracts for the purchase and sale of works
- Donor contracts
- Entity creation and maintenance for business or non-profits
- Employment and commission matters
At Torres & Zheng at Law, P.C., in partnership with Starving Artists, we are proud to provide comprehensive legal representation for all of these matters to our clients in the arts.
Benefits of Working With Qualified Arts and Entertainment Attorneys
There is a big difference between legal advice from a traditional business-focused lawyer and legal advice from an art-focused lawyer. Like the staff at Torres & Zhang at Law, our qualified arts and entertainment attorneys have expertise in intellectual property, employment law, and contracts. This experience gives us the ability to protect and leverage creative assets and other assets, such as name and likeness, to ensure our clients maximum interest and rights in their work.

The entertainment industry is constantly changing, and our attorneys take pride in staying up to date with the latest laws and case law in Florida and across the nation. Our firm is always ready to provide professional legal advice that takes into account the current state of the industry.
