“The entertainment business is a business of relationships and it is the lawyers who define the relationships, so a good lawyer is critical to success. An attorney who really understands the business can be your best ally.”
- Keith E. Cooper, Esq.
You Should Be Creating Your Projects … Not Worrying About Legalities!
You already know entertainment contracts contain traps for the unwary, but perhaps you’re concerned that no lawyer is going to care as much about your project as you do.
Whether you’re a major studio, a small production company, or an independent filmmaker, your production will need the help of an attorney in the process of creating your projects. An attorney with a track record, one who understands the language and culture of the motion picture business, can guide you past the legal pitfalls of the creative process, help you negotiate the best deals, and communicate effectively on your behalf.

What Sets Keith E. Cooper Apart?
Keith E. Cooper is a recognized leader in providing legal services to entrepreneurs, particularly those in the independent film community and those who are creating new opportunities on the Internet. Mr. Cooper uses his knowledge, skill, and passion to help clients achieve their objectives while maintaining the highest level of ethics.
Mr. Cooper works with his clients to provide an environment where they can not only create their works, but also protect them. In addition to a full range of production counsel and business entity services, he provides registration services and guidance for protecting copyrights, trademarks, and Internet interests.
Mr. Cooper believes that a boutique law practice focused on providing excellent client service in specific areas of the law provides a desirable alternative to the larger law firms where only major brands can truly find a home. Mr. Cooper provides flexible arrangements for representation of clients with varied needs. At the same time he seeks to foster client relationships that will continue long into the future.
In today's entertainment legal environment, with most transactions handled via telephone, e-mail, and fax, many functions that once required a staff of paralegals, assistants and messengers can easily be handled electronically. By operating as a virtual law practice, we forego the high overhead of office space and full-time support staff, passing the savings on to our clients. Of course, Mr. Cooper is happy to arrange in-person meetings on request, at the client's office or a mutually-convenient location.
