Legal Aspects of Producing: An Inside Approach
To Navigating the Theatrical World
For the second year, The Entertainment Arts and Sports Law Section of
the New York State Bar Association, in collaboration with the Commercial
Theater Institute, the industry’s leading training program, will
host an intensive CLE seminar focusing on the roles that theatrical
lawyers have in guiding both new and seasoned industry professionals
through all of the stages and legal aspects of producing.
Led by the top entertainment lawyers in the business, the first day
will again cover all of the basics from acquiring underlying rights,
engaging the dramatists, investor fundamentals and not-for-profit
enhancement agreements. The second day will introduce new content

the successes and challenges met along the way.
