An Entertainment Law Attorney
For Your Documentary And Feature Film Needs
The appetite for documentary and feature film content on traditional and new media platforms continues to grow at an incredible pace. We advise independent producers, production funders and service providers on all aspects of documentary and feature film production — from forming a production company, raising funds and securing rights and releases, to negotiating contracts, licenses and distribution deals, and preparing “fair use” legal opinions. If it has to do with entertainment law, we’ve done it.

What Our Clients Say
Intellectual Property
Guidance You Can Trust
There was a time when copyrights were mainly an afterthought. Today they are everything. The internet has also increased the importance of clearing and registering trademarks. And the law of privacy and publicity rights continues to evolve. Helping our clients protect and exploit their intellectual property, and providing guidance on how to legally use the creative work of others, including clearing rights, licensing intellectual property and applying the law of “fair use,” summarize a large part of what we do every day at Lehmann PLC.
Uniquely Equipped To Handle Your
Art And Museum Law Needs
Museums and cultural organizations regularly encounter a variety of legal issues. Some of these issues are common to all businesses, while some arise from the organization’s nonprofit status, and others are unique to the world of art and museums, including managing collections and dealing in cultural property. With a master’s degree in museum studies and extensive experience representing cultural organizations of all types, Walter Lehmann is uniquely positioned to advise clients on all aspects of art and museum law.
