Carolyn Sue Herman

My practice always has been about educating as well as advocating. I have represented musicians, filmmakers, writers, publishers, artists, and other creative people by taking care of all their contractual, licensing, intellectual property, business and litigation needs. I also am a former entertainment and intellectual property law professor. I have been a speaker at numerous continuing legal education seminars domestically and internationally.
