Art Law

The arts and entertainment lawyers at Bruno Law represent a wide variety of artists and entertainers, including photographers, fashion designers, illustrators, digital artists, street artists, musicians, and authors.  As an artist, your art is your business.  In order to properly protect that business, you must take several important legal steps early on in your venture, or at least as soon as possible.  Having a clear understanding of contracts, LLCs (Limited Liability Companies), copyrights, trademarks, and independent contractor agreements will give you the upper hand in running a successful and profitable business.  The attorneys at Bruno Law will walk you through everything you need to know and will be there to answer your questions and advocate on your behalf.
