A TALE OF TWO PROFESSIONALS: CREATIVES AND LAWYERS

WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE WITHOUT CREATIVES — MUSICIANS, FILMMAKERS, AUTHORS, VISUAL ARTISTS, AND TALENT TO NAME JUST A FEW. OPAQUE AND EMPTY? WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE WITHOUT LAWYERS FOR CREATIVES? UNPROTECTED AND DISORGANIZED? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CREATIVES DON’T SEEK LEGAL SERVICES TO PROTECT AND GIVE VALUE TO THEIR WORKS, PRODUCTIONS, AND PERFORMANCES? DISASTERS WAITING TO HAPPEN?

Practicing law almost forty years with more than half in the areas of trademark, copyright, small business, and entertainment law, Carolyn Herman, a native New Yorker and sole member of her Jacksonville Beach, FL firm, takes a no-nonsense approach to avoiding disasters and for those that already have occurred, uses real world strategies in an attempt to resolve them.
