The internet can seem like a bit of a wild frontier when it comes to artists’ rights, intellectual property and ownership of images and copy. That’s why we’re big fans of The Law Office of Kelly Kocinsky. Kelly is a New York City-based lawyer who provides highly-specialized legal services and attentive counsel to artists, small businesses and individuals. She’s a fantastic resource!

Kelly’s practice focuses on transactional matters for individual artists, intellectual property law for artists and small businesses; entity formation and asset identification and protection for small businesses.  We love that she understands that artists have needs that are specialized and offers services to assist those in the arts and ensure that their endeavors are protected. Kelly offers the following services for artists, small business-owners and individuals in a cost-efficient manner:

• General contract drafting and revision

• Collaboration agreements

• Intellectual property identification, assessment, planning and due dilligence

• Website copyright, trademark and domain name evaluation

• Confidentiality, nondisclosure, noncompete and IP-related agreements

• Music licensing

• Rights, clearances and negotiation

• Terms of use and privacy policy development for blogs and websites

• Copyright counseling

• Alternative dispute counseling and negotiation strategy

She’s been an excellent resource for us. Please contact her if you’ve hit a “gray area” or just need legal guidance as you get a project or business off the ground. Tell her the JPD team sent you!
