Entertainment law covers an area of law that involves media of all different types (TV, film, music, publishing, advertising, Internet & news media, etc.), and stretches over various legal fields, which include corporate, finance, intellectual property, publicity, and privacy, and, in the United States, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

For film, entertainment attorneys work with the actor’s agent to finalize the actor’s contracts for upcoming projects. After an agent lines up work for a star, the entertainment attorney negotiates with the agent and buyer of the actor’s talent for compensation and profit participation. Entertainment attorneys are under strict confidentiality agreements, so the specifics of their job are kept top secret. But, some entertainment attorney’s job descriptions have become comparable to those of a star’s agent, manager or publicist. Most entertainment attorneys have many other roles as well such as assisting in building a client’s career.
