Artists, writers, entertainers, athletes and other creative and talented individuals have unique legal needs, as do the businesses that serve them. Most importantly, these clients must both exploit and protect their talent. These clients also often find themselves in the public eye, both on an on-going basis and also from time to time when newsworthy events arise. Sellei Law focuses on protecting its clients’ valuable intellectual property while structuring projects in ways that make good business sense and enhance their on-going careers and business ventures.
