The way people consume entertainment is constantly in flux, so the laws must adapt quickly. Placido Law strives to anticipate these changes so you can focus more on creating a performance of a lifetime. Among our clients are actors, directors, writers, animators, and many other industry talents. We draft and negotiate development, production, financing, and sales & distribution agreements. Tailoring each contract according to a project’s scope, size, and budget, we secure the appropriate creative rights for all talents involved.

Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive market. With so many channels and constantly replenishing feeds to watch out for, tracing the ownership and originality of a brand name, content, or software needs the trained eye of an attorney. We’ll handle the search, application, and filing process of trademarks and copyrights. And if your idea has been infringed upon, we can negotiate the best possible licensing and settlement agreements.
