I am an Entertainment and business attorney helping producers and entrepreneurs create and protect their businesses. I’ve recently been handling numerous litigation matters, but prior to that I was involved in the motion picture business for over 25 years in various capacities. I was a co-owner of a commercial production company, and after passing the California bar in 1995, I have represented various independent theatrical motion picture producers as either their attorney or in-house counsel. The range of my experience covered almost every possible legal service, from initial literary-rights acquisition to production, to rights sales, to enforcing royalties in distribution. I have advised my clients in numerous transactions, negotiations, and production decisions relating to all aspects of business and legal affairs, contract negotiation, analysis, litigation, corporate governance and business administration. Go to YouTube or Acorn TV and watch a three-season show called Slings and Arrows, about the fictional New Burbage Festival of Shakespearean Theatre. It’s a romp of a train wreck on producing, directing, acting and creating live theatre, but all the stories equally apply to film. Oddly, it will still inspire you and remind you why you got into the arts in the first place. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEs2DMdV0rDIQygO-XXQK9JAQcQb2uIL Jeff Spellerberg is licensed to practice law in the State of California, and limits his advice and appearances before the California State Courts, Federal District Court for the Central District of California, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Copyright Office and the United States Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and maintains an office and practices law in Los Angeles, California, and owns a home in Knoxville, Tennessee.
