The New England film , theater and commercial community is a really tight, cooperative market. I like that a lot. Artists are constantly coming together; there is a barter mentality that allows people who would not necessarily be able to do this work to become involved. You help someone on their film, trust me, they'll help you on yours. There is also a sense of fun here. Everyone is serious about what is being created, but not one person that I've worked with takes themselves too seriously. It's still about loving what you're doing. That's how such great work gets made, be it an independent film, a local Comcast commercial, or a new works piece presented at an experimental theater.

Both as a part of my Entertainment Law practice as well as within other types of business relationships I am able to work with clients to create structures the enable them to do the work they want to do, and then document the communications in a lasting Agreement.

I try and work with my entertainment and business clients in as collaborative a way as possible. I strive to sit at the table with all involved and create the business together. Why would two partners, planning to build a business together, want to start with two separate attorneys and thus be in an adversarial relationship from the start. I believe it makes so much more sense to start together, from the start. I can help you do that. What better way to create a solid foundation for your future success.

Testimonials

We were referred to Elizabeth Rose by a well connected movie producer who described Liz as one of the best entertainment contract lawyers she knew. Although we did not have a contract in-hand, and only the potential of one in the future, Liz met with us for a complementary consultation. We were most impressed by her knowledge and understanding of contract law, and the publishing and entertainment industry. A few months later, when we did have a contract to consider, we hired Liz to review it. Liz found every word, clause and sentence in the contracts that did not serve our interests. Liz recommended changes which we never would have thought of, but readily approved. Next, Liz renegotiated the contract with the other party in about an hour. In two and three quarter hours (billing time) Liz made us several thousand dollars. We consider that money well spent.

As the CEO and Senior Producer of Monsterdance Productions in Hollywood California , it is my great pleasure to recommend Elizabeth Rose as an
Entertainment Attorney.

Elizabeth 's professionalism and legal know how stood out as she guided us through a recent multi million dollar investment for a mini series to air on HBO, currently in development.

I was personally impressed with her legal prowess as we negotiated our contractual terms with our partners and the fact that Liz caught MANY contract inconsistencies by the opposing legal team during negotiations, which I know saved us undoubtedly, from many possible future legal headaches!

We at Monsterdance will not hesitate to work with Elizabeth Rose in the near future and HIGHLY recommend her to any entertainment professional seeking good, honest and intelligent legal representation for any project large or small.
