From songs to software and beyond, we solve copyright problems of every dimension.
We bring specialized experience litigating and counseling on copyright matters, assisting clients with the complex legal and business challenges that arise from the intersection of digital technologies and the US and international copyright regimes.
Our Copyright Litigation & Counseling team offers a unique and cross-disciplinary practice and works with a range of clients — from startups to the world’s leading technology companies — on copyright matters that run the gamut from a quick phone call to talk through a product design question, to developing a commercial strategy for compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, to litigating infringement cases in federal court and rate-setting matters in federal agencies, to negotiating “business critical” content licenses. We also provide strategic counseling for companies in the music and digital media space, including with regard to structuring business models, rights clearance strategy, content catalogue build-out, data/financial reporting, and user acquisition/retention.
