About

Welcome to Burton Law LLC, a virtual law firm headquartered out of Dayton, Ohio with locations in Cincinnati, Columbus and North Carolina. Burton Law has dismantled the traditional law firm model and turned it on its head. The firm's technology platform allows its lawyers to practice in a geographically dispersed manner, which greatly reduces overhead and inefficiencies associated with the traditional firm model. These cost savings ultimately get passed on to our clients, while at the same time providing the personal attention that clients expect from their lawyers.

Entertainment law regulates all aspects of the entertainment industry, specifically relationships and transactions between individuals and organizations involved in film, theatre, television, radio, music, dance, writing, fine arts and sports. It includes regulation of the media, both in print and in telecommunications, as well as on the internet and in various evolving forms of technology. Entertainment law attempts to insure fairness in all aspects of selling or transferring creative works for profit.

Entertainment lawyers represent not only artists and athletes, but talent agents, production companies and related organizations. Entertainment law regularly deals not only with the negotiation of contracts and the resolution of contract disputes, but privacy and publicity rights, defamation matters, estate planning, taxation strategies and intellectual property issues.
