Entertainment Law

Through its Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura County offices, the Abel Law Offices offer the legal guidance and advice to help creative talent and entertainment businesses make informed and good decisions in their career.  Creative, talented people and entertainment businesses need legal protection to preserve their rights and interests.  In California, laws covering a broad range of areas including the requirements to be an agent or manager, the length of creative contracts, copyright, trademarks, and royalties, govern the entertainment industry.

Bruce Abel negotiates and drafts contracts for a wide variety of entertainment issues including royalties, engineer-for-hire-, producer-for-hire, artist-for-hire, loan-out deals, independent production agreements, joint ventures, pressing and distribution deals, and master licenses.  The Abel Law Offices also help artists and entertainment businesses analyze business proposals regarding mechanical royalties, controlled composition clauses, songwriting deals including control issues, publishing rights, and copyright interests.  The Abel Law Offices collaborate with other professionals to help artists and businesses with their tour and retail merchandising campaigns.

Integrity and dedication to our clients' interest is a top priority at Abel Law Offices.  Each entertainment client deals directly with an attorney on all aspects of the entertainer's business and legal needs.  Personal attention and responsiveness are attributes that we value and believe clients want and appreciate.  Contact the Abel Law Offices today to schedule a consultation regarding your entertainment law matter.
