About the Practice GroupFrom songs to software and beyond, we solve copyright problems of every dimension.

We bring exceptional copyright experience. Our copyright team includes renowned trial and transactional lawyers, thought leaders widely recognized for their creative legal strategies for resolving cutting-edge cases and negotiating first-of-their-kind deals, and includes a former General Counsel of the US Copyright Office.
