Arts and Entertainment Law

Helping the creative reach their highest potential.

Jacobowitz & Gubits represents a diverse array of clients in the arts and entertainment industries. Whether you are a visual artist, author, musician, songwriter, actor, film producer, record company, theater, museum or arts center, we will carefully attend to your legal and business needs.

Utilizing our “team approach,” we bring together attorneys with expertise in business, contracts, licensing, taxation, intellectual property, labor and employment, and litigation. Working together, our team provides the highest quality representation to our clients.

Good business lawyers know the practices and standards of their client’s industries, not just the rules of law and the courts. J&G has experience collaborating with individual, corporate, and not-for-profit clients in virtually all areas of the arts and entertainment.

J&G takes pride in being accessible to clients in the early stages of their development, and strives to build long lasting relationships.

By counseling creative individuals to make good business decisions, create solid business structures, and negotiate beneficial agreements, we help our clients reach their highest potential.
