Areas of Practice
Entertainment law
The world of music, tv, film and theatre is ever growing and evolving, especially with a rapidly evolving digital landscape. With the consistent introduction of varying revenue streams, distribution channels (e.g., social media), and the way in which people consume entertainment, the opportunity for profit grows, but so does the complexity.
Cannabis law
Cannabis law is the Wild West of the legal landscape. More states are increasingly decriminalizing marijuana and creating structures and systems for a retail cannabis marketplace. Let SKTLegal counsel you as this emerging industry develops to ensure you stay ahead of the trends.
Trademark Registration and PRotection
Protecting your brand is a cornerstone of a successful venture. Federal trademark registration ensures that your brand name is uniquely and exclusively connected to the goods and/or services you are offering. SKTLegal is equipped with the knowledge and experience to help you prepare and file your trademark application and represent you through the application process.
