ABOUT US

Offering best-in-class bespoke advisory and consulting services to digital companies that operate at the intersection of social/digital media talent, branded content creation and technology-driven advertising and distribution.

We understand that start-ups and growing companies need to be nimble. We specialize in evaluating your business landscape and strategy and creating custom processes, agreements, forms and templates that are designed to function seamlessly to onboard new partners in a manner that allows rapid scale. We operate on a project basis, on monthly retainer, or hourly on-call as either sole in-house counsel or to handle over-flow work for a client's existing in-house team or outside counsel. Outside counsel can't provide this level of service simply because its "outside."

With more than 25 years of experience in traditional and digital media, we advise start-ups, emerging and established companies on business/legal affairs, production legal and operations matters in a market that is consistently and rapidly changing. A deep understanding of the evolution and growth of the industry and the ability to act as an embedded collaborator in your business, we are able to provide insights to help you leverage better business and legal terms for your company as it navigates new and existing partnerships. We go beyond negotiating standard legal terms and conditions because we operate as a de-facto in-house counsel and operations advisor on your behalf.

REMARKS

“Andy and I have worked together for over 10 years. He is an absolute professional and it's an honor to work with him. He is a leading expert in digital businesses, copyright law, FTC compliance, and talent law. His combination of humanism, business logic, and legal talent have made him a fundamental part of several companies I have lead and his loyalty has been unchanging. I can't recommend him or his talents highly enough.”
Oliver Luckett, CEO Revilo Park, theAudience, Digisynd and Revver

“I have worked with Andy for over 10 years in both corporate and startup environments. On top of being an excellent attorney, because of his breadth and depth of experience, he is an invaluable advisor. His talent goes far beyond legal work to operational and strategic expertise, and I have always counted on Andy for honest, straightforward advice across our business decisions. Plus, he is amazingly easy to work with!”
Radhika Delfosse, COO HelloGiggles.com and Myspace

“Andy has been the most strategic legal partner I've had the pleasure of working with over the course of nearly twenty years in technology and media. He brings an infectiously positive attitude to the table and works closely with business teams to drive "yes" results in an ever-evolving landscape.”
Tim Sovay, COO CreatorIQ and theAudience

"I met Andy in 2008 while he was in-house counsel at MySpace and I was across the table negotiating as a producer. I was impressed by his understanding of both traditional and digital media deals and the integrity he demonstrated in creating partnerships. Ever since then, Andy has continued to stay one step ahead of the market so he’s been the obvious choice on all of my projects while at The Story Lab, Relativity, and now doing documentary features. I’ve come to regard him as a partner in creating innovative deal structures with challenging partners. He is the opposite of everything one finds frustrating when "bringing in the lawyers" - Andy is responsive, honest, knowledgeable and puts everyone at ease.”
Lisa Eisenpresser, Producer/Exec Producer, Branded Content MySpace, The Story Lab, Relativity
