Entertainment law is a complex discipline not easily defined, one that requires its practitioners to combine many divergent skills: those of transactional and finance lawyers, of deal makers, of contract drafters and business affairs lawyers, of copyright, trademark and licensing lawyers, of employment lawyers and, most recently, new media and technology lawyers. While entertainment litigators, like entertainment lawyers, are to a large degree generalists, they are first and foremost, litigators. This chapter addresses a range of litigation subject matters frequently encountered in representing entertainment industry-related clients, with a particular emphasis on how these subjects are addressed in the federal courts.
