-: My name's Stephanie Jacqueney,
and I am an entertainment lawyer.
I have worked at one company
where I was the lead production lawyer.
That involved doing contracts for set designers,
lighting designers, costume designers.
It also involved intellectual property, music rights,
rights of privacy, rights of publicity.
You have an idea for a show
and maybe you wanna use something
that's in everyday life.
Well do you have the rights to use that
or is that in the public domain?
Those are just some of the areas
that this touches upon.
But you know what?
If you're doing a major production,
you might need cars.
You might need hotels to get your personnel there.
You probably need a lot of computer-related systems.
More and more, I find myself doing contracts
with a lot of IT or information technologies,
or computer and cloud consulting,
and software as a service, and other elements
that maybe 10, 15 years ago were not necessarily
part of the entertainment law practice.
I wanna dovetail into something else that you do
when you're a production lawyer,
and that is the marketing of it.
There's sponsorships.
There's contracts for
ad placement.
There's a lot of marketing.
There's reviewing of ad copy.
So there's a lot of different aspects to this.
What does it all involve?
It involves a lot of analysis.
You have to sit down with the client
and know what they're doing.
Are we selling ad space?
Do we have a sponsor for this?
So maybe there's a sponsorship agreement.
It really runs the gamut
You're running a business,
and your business happens to be
the product that people want to come down and see
if they're in a theater or view,
if it's television,
whether it's linear or some other medium these days.
