KF&C handles complex commercial litigation and disputes over intellectual property in the motion picture, television, music and other entertainment industries. Our practice includes federal and state court litigation as well as arbitrations involving media, entertainment and intellectual property disputes.

Our practice stretches broadly across a wide array of subject areas including copyright and trademark disputes, idea theft, breach of contract, fraud, anti-SLAPP, right of privacy and publicity, defamation, Talent Agencies Act, talent representation disputes, management and agent commissions, TTAB proceedings, Labor Commissioner proceedings, guild issues, and other entertainment and media disputes.

We represent individuals, businesses, artists, photographers, athletes, production companies, distributors, producers, financiers, executives, and talent in resolving their entertainment and intellectual property issues, as both plaintiffs and defendants. We also counsel and provide analysis to clients on pre-litigation matters to avoid escalation, and protect branding and reputation.
