Legal Consultation


Movis Media Group is a media management and consulting firm that focus on taking projects from concept to completion.  While researching entertainment representation for my company I was referred to a South Florida attorney tat has worked in the entertainment industry for more than a decade.  He has been a practicing attorney since the 1970’s.  His expertise is entertainment law and consulting.  I met with Mr. Black to discuss what legal steps I needed to take in order to build a secure foundation.  I outlined the details of how Movis Media Group operates as well as what projects we are developing or plan to develop over the next few years.
         Some of the things we discussed in our initial meeting are non-circumvention, non-compete and non-disclosure agreement.  We also discussed legal fees and retainer fees.  Mr. Black specializes in contracts, copyright, trademark clearances and business organization.  He has worked with some of the industries leading artists.  He also advised that it is important work with attorneys that special in the area in which you need counsel.  For example, we discussed trademarking my company branding and logo.  Mr. Black suggested a trademark specialty attorney. 
         We also discussed what fees are necessary to secure sufficient protection.  The initial start up costs would cover securing the initial structure. After meeting with Mr. Black and addressing my legal concerns I decided he is a great resource for knowledge.  His experience and background are more than I could have expected for initial consultation.  One of the best things about Mr. Black is that many people know his work and his business is spread through word of mouth.  I heard about him through a past client and when I connected with him I realized other people I have worked with have also entrusted their legal guidance to Mr. Black.
