Business, Entertainment, Media, and AI Law.

Work with an experienced attorney on the contracts, rights, and deals that shape your business.

Business & Deals

Formation, governance, contracts, joint ventures, and acquisitions. The agreements that decide who owns what, who controls it, and who gets paid.

Entertainment & Media

Music, film, television, and digital. Recording and publishing deals, licensing, chain of title, and the contracts behind the credits.

AI & Technology

Compliance, data and privacy, IP ownership in AI-assisted work, and the questions the statutes have not caught up to yet.

Have a contract, a deal, or a question?

CONTRACT REVIEW

A close read of the agreement in front of you: the key terms, the real risk, and the clauses worth pushing back on.
Best for: you want a second set of eyes before you sign.

REDLINING & NEGOTIATION

Marked-up revisions and the strategy behind them, including handling the other side directly when that is the right call.
Best for: the deal is live and the terms can still move.

RIGHTS & LICENSING

Ownership, chain of title, splits, clearances, and licensing across music, film, television, and digital.
Best for: the asset is worth more than the paperwork suggests.

OUTSIDE GENERAL COUNSEL

Ongoing counsel on an agreed scope, so legal questions get answered as they come up instead of piling up.
Best for: a growing company with no lawyer in the building.

“We have worked with Universal Law Group for years. As our business has grown and evolved, what I have valued most is that they truly know us and understand our business. Their insight, consistency, and personalized approach make them an indispensable partner.”

Deals That Close

Clear recommendations that move a transaction forward, with the reasoning behind them. Not a list of everything that could possibly go wrong.

Partnerships

Answers While It Matters

You reach the attorney handling your matter. Questions get answered while the deal is still live, not after the window has closed.

Excellence

Protected When It Works

Ownership, rights, and revenue settled before anyone has a reason to fight about them. The agreement should still hold up when the project succeeds.
