Media & Entertainment Law

Covering You So You Can Cover the Story.

You got into this industry to tell stories — to be in the field, in the studio, behind the camera or in front of it, not to spend your energy deciphering contract language or navigating a toxic workplace. That's where I come in.

If Your Career Lives in the Media World, I Understand It

I represent media and entertainment professionals at every level — anchors, reporters, meteorologists, producers, photographers, digital journalists, podcast hosts, streamers, and creators. If your career lives in the media world, I understand it intimately, because I lived it too.

I'm Not Your Agent, I'm Your Advocate.

I've sat across from news directors in my own contract negotiations, and I know the pressure, the power dynamics, and the leverage points — because I've been exactly where you are. Agents negotiate your contracts in exchange for a percentage of your salary that continues for the life of the deal. My role is different. I provide independent counsel and negotiation for a one-time fee.

Contract Review & Negotiation
Your contract is the most important document in your career — it controls your salary, your market, your brand, your social media presence, and your ability to leave. Before you sign, renew, or renegotiate, you deserve an attorney who understands not just the legal language, but what it actually means for your career. I offer flat-fee contract review and one-time-fee negotiations, so you know exactly what you're paying and exactly what you're getting.

Getting Out of a Contract
Sometimes the situation changes — a toxic environment, a better opportunity, or a station that isn't honoring its commitments. Whatever the reason, I can help you understand your options, assess your exposure, and navigate an exit that protects your career and your reputation.

Harassment, Discrimination & Retaliation
The media industry has a long history of looking the other way. If you're experiencing harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, you have rights — and you deserve someone in your corner who isn't afraid to fight for them. Wherever you are in the country, I can advise media professionals on their workplace rights and help you understand your options and next steps.
