Entertainment Law
You be the creative, we take care of the business.
Our mission is to help amplify diverse voices in all entertainment spaces through storytelling to help create a better world. We represent productions, artists, screenwriters, authors, talent, producers, directors, and content creators at all stages of a project and for the longevity of their career.
Who We Represent
Legacy Arts Law specializes in transactional entertainment law, guiding both individuals and production companies through the dynamic and ever-evolving worlds of scripted and unscripted film, television, publishing, music, stage, branding, gaming, intellectual property, licensing, and transmedia.
We represent a spectrum of entertainment professionals, from screenwriters, content creators, directors, authors, music artists, producers to seasoned rights holders. We also represent production companies to create a synergy at each stage of production.
We stay on top of the industry trends and help our clients strategize and implement the best options available for each project.

From safeguarding intellectual property and enforcing rights against infringement to negotiating posthumous licensing deals and book-to-screen adaptations, we help ensure that a creative legacy is protected, preserved, and positioned for future generations.
Entertainers, artists, and content creators are unique in that their estate contains intellectual property, rights of publicity, digital replicas, and copyrights that can benefit their heirs for many years.
Tisha can advise on your business succession and the best way to carry on your legacy and the potential need for a literary executor or literary trustee to oversee past and future works.
With experience in both estate planning and entertainment law, we offer comprehensive support for managing and monetizing literary and artist estates.

We specialize in creating and preserving legacy from startup to succession.
Most of our clients are in entertainment, publishing, and content creation where we help build careers while also protecting assets, intellectual property, and limit risk exposures.
No business too big or too small. We’d love to work with your business.
We Specialize in Production Legal for Independent Producers
Strategic Legal Counsel from Development Through Delivery
We provide production counsel services for films, documentaries, and creator-driven projects. Our role is to protect the project, the producers, and the underlying rights — while keeping production moving efficiently.
We function as full legal advisor throughout development and physical production.
Why Production Counsel is Important
Strong production legal is not just about paperwork — it protects chain of title, secures talent relationships, reduces investor risk, and prevents delivery issues that can derail distribution.
Fee Structure
We offer flexible fee options depending on the scope of the project:
• Flat Fees for Individual Documents
Ideal for projects needing limited or targeted agreements.
• Comprehensive Production Legal Fee
A total flat fee structured as a percentage of the approved production budget, covering development through principal photography.
A flat fee model takes the hourly fee out of the equation and allows producers to budget legal costs predictably while ensuring full legal coverage throughout production.
Let’s work together.
