I pride myself on assisting and enabling the business of art and entertainment. As a fan of art, music and film, I approach legal and business problems in terms that artists can understand, leaving the artist with both a sustainable understanding of the issues and reusable resources or documents from which to draw in the future (without the need for help from an attorney). I offer my services with the artist in mind - translating complex and important legal and business concepts into the artist's frame of thought. It is my hope that this empowers the artist to build confidence in dealing with their legal and business issues instead of leaving them to someone else, or worse, ignoring them. I've found that all too often, artists resist, neglect or despise the business of their craft and talent. But I've also found that when I sit down with a client to walk him or her through a business or legal issue, they leave feeling like this important side of their art is manageable afterall. Being aware of these issues and dealing with them professionally and responsibly is an essential step to making your art your business. I make that step easier so that artists can go on to do what they love, instead of getting bogged down in details or bureaucracy.

When it comes to assisting non-artists with their legal or business issues, I pursue the same strategy - explain everything as clearly as possible and leave the client with the tools to handle as much as possible by themselves, while making sure that I am present to address delicate or complicated issues.
