Do You Need an Entertainment Lawyer Before Signing a Contract in Los Angeles?

Yes, always. Entertainment contracts in California are among the most one-sided legal documents in any industry. Record deals, talent agreements, production contracts, management agreements, music publishing deals, and licensing agreements are written by teams of attorneys representing studios, labels, and production companies whose financial interests are directly opposed to yours. Without an experienced entertainment lawyer reviewing every clause, you can unknowingly surrender your intellectual property rights, accept below-market royalty rates, agree to perpetual exclusivity, or waive your right to audit the other party's accounting. Abkarian and Associates, based in Montrose and serving all of Southern California, has represented high-profile entertainment clients in complex contract negotiations and disputes. Founding attorney Albert Abkarian is recognized by Forbes, Newsweek, and Super Lawyers as one of California's top attorneys — and our entertainment law clients receive the same elite level of representation as our personal injury trial clients.

How Much Does an Entertainment Lawyer Cost in California?

At Abkarian and Associates, fee structures for entertainment law matters are discussed transparently during your free initial consultation and are tailored to the nature and complexity of your case.
