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.

During my employment with these companies, I held various positions, including Residential and Commercial Escrow Officer, Manager of the Subdivision Department, Trustee Sales Officer and County Escrow Auditor. Between 1978 and 1981, I was licensed as an agent and broker, as well as a residential and commercial appraiser by the State of Oregon.. I obtained my Bachelor of Science cum laude in Political Science from the University of Santa Clara in 1973. In 1985, I graduated with distinction from McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. While studying at McGeorge, I received various scholarships and awards, including the American Jurisprudence Awards for Agency, Business Associations and Contracts, and the Corpus Juris Secundum Award for significant legal scholarship. In 1996, I was voted "Member of the Year" by Commercial Women in Real Estate, Sacramento Chapter (CREW Sacramento) for my contributions to education and commercial real estate professionals..

I've also provided articles to Comstocks' Magazine on the adverse impact of conflicting environmental restrictions on business and development in northern California. I have published articles on recent Water Resource Control Board changes in wetlands policy for Northern Builder's Magazine. I've served as one of California Building Industry Association’s (CBIA’s) representatives to Governor Wilson's Wetlands Consensus, an advisory body, drafting proposed wetlands and watershed management legislation for California. I also assist in drafting remediation legislation on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), California Endangered Species Act (CESA), and regulatory abuse issues for California Business Properties Association..

Hello and thank you for reading about me! I am fortunate to work with nonrprofit and tax exempt organizations and their charitable donors all day every day. I am honored to be able to play some small part in helping good intentions become realities.. My firm provides sophisticated and cost-effective counsel to nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations and their charitable donors. We focus on the tax and governance issues unique to the nonprofit sector, and work with private foundations, public charities, and other nonprofits, such as social welfare organizations and trade associations. We also advise donors and charities on charitable giving matters such as charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, gift agreements, pledges, and endowments. Collectively, my law partner and I bring over three decades of experience to the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.. My firm has been virtual since inception, so the "work from home" pandemic thing was just business as usual for us.. We offer flat fees for formations (see our website for more information) and otherwise bill hourly. We do what we can to keep costs low (like not having expensive downtown San Francisco office space) and pass those savings on to you.. I was raised on a farm in Central Virignia and bring a good old farm style work ethic to my virtual office every day.. I look forward to connecting with you.
