Miami: Hotbed of Entertainment

Posted by Jillian Postal | Jan 20, 2014 | 0 Comments

Miami is a hotbed of entertainment. Miami has been host to many television shows, movies, theater, and much more. When you think about Miami and the entertainment venue it offers, you do not immediately think about all of the legal leg work that goes into the entertainment business. Here is a quick overview of how entertainment law in Miami breaks down.

The Idea:

Do you have a great idea for entertainment? It comes in the form of a script or poem, a book or piece of software. If so, you have a right to keep that idea and use it for monetary purposes. You must take measures to assure it is protected by copyright laws and that if your idea is stolen from you that you have the information needed in order to take action against those who stole that idea. That is where you will see the very first need for an entertainment law attorney in Miami.

The Production:

When acting on the idea you may have and for this topic lets use the example, Movie Script, you will have a need to form business contracts with all who will be working with you in order to make your idea a reality. An entertainment lawyer in Miami can assure that your contracts represent your best interests and are free from mistakes that could cost you a lot of money. You will need to employ those who will help your idea become a reality and an entertainment lawyer in Miami can assure that you know and understand employee rights so that you do not face any possible legal actions that may occur with disgruntled employees.

Finalization:

An entertainment attorney in Miami will not only oversee the contracts, but also any financial transactions and business negotiations that will need to take place. It is essential that you have an entertainment attorney in Miami present when conducting business as important as payment, production and the like.

When it comes to Miami, entertainment is one of the most popular venues and because of that, it is imperative that you understand your rights. An entertainment attorney in Miami can assure that you not only understand those rights but also that you are properly represented when the need arises.
