Intellectual Property Management. In our increasingly media dominated world, the creation, exploitation and protection of intellectual property is a major business. With media outlets expanding rapidly, new opportunities are arising not only for established professionals, who now have the ability to own and exploit their creative assets in emerging revenue streams, but also for motivated individuals who are looking to distribute and exploit their talent by taking direct advantage of the broadband capability of the Internet as well as other grass-roots strategies. Sword Law is here to help whether you’re a seasoned entertainment industry pro or an emerging independent musician, filmmaker, writer, or user-generated content creator.

Talent Representation. Sword Law also provides representation to creative and performing talent, including on-camera talent, musicians, writers and filmmakers, in all of their business dealings in the entertainment and media industries. We help creative and performing artists identify and pursue business opportunities, then guide them through the often complex dealings involved in exploiting those opportunities.
