Entertainment law is more complex than you might think. Generally, it involves the representation of clients who are involved in the business of providing amusement to the public. This can include virtually any endeavor in which intellectual property is created and exploited. The five areas traditionally regarded as entertainment law specialties are film, television, music, book publishing, and live theater. Radio, fine arts and advertising are among other significant industries in which entertainment lawyers are needed.

Sports law, often grouped with entertainment law is actually a distinct specialty with its own issues and politics. An interesting trend in sports law is the increasing use of lawyers rather than agents to negotiate athletic contracts.
