With more than 15 years of legal experience, I specialize in marital and premarital contracts, with a particular focus on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. At Downs Law, my approach is deeply rooted in my enthusiasm for drafting agreements that protect the interests of both parties. I am committed to collaborating with opposing counsel to ensure clear communication and mutual understanding in every case.. My expertise in marital law is complemented by a keen attention to detail and a strong dedication to supporting my clients. I take pride in offering personalized legal guidance and genuinely supporting each client through their important decisions. As a passionate advocate for fair and comprehensive prenups and postnups, I strive to provide exceptional service that stands out in marital contract law

I negotiate all types of deals in the entertainment industry pertaining to film, television, digital distribution of content, literary publications, music, music publishing and more.  I also negotiate traditional business agreements (partnerships, joint ventures, etc.), register and advise on copyrights and advise on and prosecute trademark applications.. I began my career as an entertainment litigator at Kulik, Gottesman & Mouton, LLP  in 2001 and continued that practice at Lavely & Singer, PC from 2003-2010 where I represented high-profile celebrities in trials, arbitrations, and labor commisisoner hearings.  My extensive background in litigating breaches of contract, fraud, unfair business practices, libel, slander, right of publicity and privacy violations, wrongful termination claims and copyright and trademark infringment makes me uniquely qualified to negotiate entertainment and related business transactions. Who better to put the details of a deal together then someone who spent years litigating over deals that fell apart due to poor drafting, vague language, oversights and the like?. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT MY PRACTICE:. I do not shop or seek financing for projects/music/scripts or help find clients representation (agents, managers, etc.).  I work for the majority of my clients on an hourly basis.  Hourly clients are required to pay a retainer before legal services commence.  I do represent some clients on a percentage basis but only if the agreement at issue provides a substantial and guaranteed payment to the client.  I do not negotiate option agreements or development agreements on a percentage basis.. Finally, while I'm strictly a transactional attorney, if you have an entertainment or business litigation matter I can refer you to my partner, Paul Berra, who is a very experienced entertainment litigator.  Mr. Berra works only on an hourly basis.
