Advertising

As society continues to evolve into the need for instant information, the laws of advertising will, in a certain respect, trail behind. The rules of television, radio, and print media have been around for years, but the rules of the internet and other electronic or telephony delivery are still very much in development. As such, there is no one size fits all approach that can be applied to a given corporation and the way it advertises its products or services.

Emerging Technologies 

New technology products has occurred to entertainment, music, publishing, computer technology, finance, securities, healthcare, insurance, and communication in new combinations which may have untested legal implications. As a result, new data and media formats, new devices, new applications, new services, and new methods of accessing and distributing data, content and services are constantly introduced into the business and consumer markets.

As technology is emerging constantly, an attorney must understand the technology of the relevant areas, the interests and standards of the businesses active in this field, and the myriad of intellectual property and contractual issues that may arise in such transaction. It is important for the attorney to not only keep abreast of these changes and new initiatives, but to draft documents and structure transactions to anticipate the changes and growth in these technologies, as well as the business models which rely upon such technologies.

Entertainment 

The digital revolution has had an impact on every branch of the entertainment industry, primarily in terms of advertising, the delivery of product, and services, as well as creating additional revenue streams.

Entertainment law, like any other field of commercial law, is a combination of legal principles and business practices. Business practices and pressures relating to motion pictures, television, music, radio, live theater, literary publishing, and interactive digital media are discussed as a means to understand the legal concepts at work throughout the industry.
