I provide Los Angeles entertainment and business counsel dedicated to protecting the assets and creative rights of independent creators.
Specifically, my goal is to give entertainment, gaming, fashion, and digital creators—and the businesses and brands they work with—clear, modern legal protection in a world of AI tools, evolving platforms, and fast‑moving deals. I help you keep creating without losing control of your rights, your likeness, or your revenue.
Entertainment, creator‑economy, and platform work.
I spent my early career on the front lines of entertainment labor enforcement at SAG-AFTRA, protecting performer rights under the union's codified agreements. This unique experience in "quasi-litigation" gave me an intimate, insider understanding of how to enforce entertainment contracts and resolve complex disputes before they ever escalate to a courtroom.
While at SAG-AFTRA, I also served as a gatekeeper for union compliance, successfully signing producers to the Codified Basic Agreements. I routinely navigated the complexities of union-mandated production requirements, ensuring that projects moved forward seamlessly while strictly protecting the rights of the creative force.
Following my time at established entertainment and employment firms in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, I founded my own practice to ensure every client receives direct, aggressive, and quality representation.
As a fully bilingual attorney, I provide comprehensive transactional and litigation counsel natively in both English and Spanish. In a multicultural hub like Los Angeles, this allows me to review chain of title documents, negotiate agreements, and fiercely advocate for talent and production companies without the risk or friction of third-party translators.
