Entertainment and Intellectual Property Attorneys

We’re a boutique entertainment and intellectual property firm built for creators. From influencers and podcasters to filmmakers, musicians, and production companies, we protect what you make, negotiate stronger deals, and structure your business so it scales.

Guiding Your Ascent in the Entertainment Industry

Our founder, Nina Ameri, grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by the entertainment industry and brings over two decades of hands-on experience representing content creators. Under her guidance, our creator-savvy attorneys deliver practical, fast, and plain-English legal counsel across digital media, film, television, music, and brand partnerships.

Clients receive senior-level attention, clear next steps, and a trusted partner who understands how content is actually created, distributed, and monetized. We don’t just review contracts; we help you evaluate real-world risks, spot growth opportunities, and make confident business decisions. Our approach is strategic yet accessible, designed to keep your career moving forward without unnecessary friction. The result is legal support that scales with your success, whether your work intersects with entertainment, branding, licensing, or adjacent matters such as production legal for film and TV, talent-led media ventures, or the strategic acquisition and protection of intellectual property rights anywhere in the United States.

At Ameri Law, PC, our attorneys anticipate issues before they arise and tailor our advice to the realities of fast-moving creative industries. Whether you’re negotiating your first deal, managing an expanding digital presence, or building a multi-platform brand, we provide the same diligence and foresight expected from leading Los Angeles firms.

Production Legal

Every production is its own ecosystem—creative, financial, and legal. We handle the paperwork so you can keep rolling:

  • Development through distribution: production counsel, chain of title, option/purchase, talent and crew agreements.
  • Clearance & fair use opinions; E&O coordination.
  • On-set and post support, delivery schedules, and distributor deliverables.

     

Our job is to de-risk your project, keep timelines moving, and protect your rights—so the story makes it to screen without surprises.

Finance & Distribution

Financing and distribution decisions shape the life of your project. We help you compare options, negotiate terms, and protect backend value.

  • Investor, equity, and gap financing; waterfall and recoupment.
  • Sales agent and distribution agreements; MGs, advances, and deliverables.
  • Profit participation, backend definitions, and audit rights.

     

From first draft to final release, we align your legal strategy with your budget, timeline, and long-term goals.

Proudly Representing a Diverse Range of Talent

We counsel creators at every stage—emerging voices and household names alike. Our clients include influencers and content creators, production companies, filmmakers, screenwriters, recording artists, composers, actors, authors, and creative entrepreneurs. Whatever you make, we help you protect it and get paid for it.

Our Highlight Reel

Built Different

Your creative work is a business—treat it like one.

We combine IP protection (copyrights, trademark, licensing) with entertainment transactions (talent, brand, production, and distribution deals) to turn your creative output into durable assets. With strong contracts and clean rights, your films, music, and content generate revenue long after the premiere—or the post goes viral.

That’s common. Their lawyers protect their client; we protect you—your credits, compensation, approvals, and long-term rights.
