7th ANNUAL LEGAL ASPECTS OF PRODUCING:
AN INSIDE APPROACH TO NAVIGATING THE THEATRICAL WORLD

Tuesday, March 27, 2018 -Wednesday, March 28, 2018
5:30PM – 9:15PM (each night)

Pricing: 
NYSBA and CTI Alumni: $285.00 for Both Days | $165.00 for One Day 
Non-Members: $375.00 for Both Days | $225.00 for One Day 
Students: $185.00 for Both days | $95.00 for One Day

This course is approved for up to 7.0 MCLE credit hours in professional practice for New York State Attorneys. This program is non-transitional and therefore not suited for newly-admitted attorneys.

For the seventh year, The Entertainment, Arts and Sports Law Section (EASL) of the New York State Bar Association, in collaboration with The Commercial Theater Institute (CTI), the industry's leading training program, will host an intensive 2-evening 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 theater producing.  

Led by the top entertainment lawyers in the business, the first evening will cover all of the basics including acquiring underlying rights, engaging the dramatists and preparing co-producer and investor offering documents. The second evening will focus on developmental productions, including enhancement agreements between commercial producers and not-for-profit theaters, as well as other agreements with key members of the creative team and licensing.  Then veterans in the field will discuss emerging trends and issues, provide case studies and help producers and entertainment counsel navigate through some of the most common (and some esoteric) pitfalls of the theater business.

Tuesday, March 27, 2018 - Conflicts of Interest, Rights Acquisitions and Engaging the Creative Team Part I

5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Registration

6:00 p.m. – 6:10 p.m. Introductory Remarks

6:10 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Conflicts of Interest (1 credit in Ethics)
Speaker: Richard Maltz, Esq. and Tyler Maulsby, Esq., Frankfurt Kurnit & Selz, PC

Richard and Tyler will go through a hypothetical (but entirely plausible) fact pattern and discuss potential conflicts facing practitioners in the field.

7:00 p.m. – 8:15 p.m. Negotiating Rights and Production Contracts (1.5 credits)
Speakers: Jason Baruch, Esq., Sendroff & Baruch, LLP and Jason Cooper, Esq., Creative Artists Agency

The Jasons will discuss the various sources of underlying rights (including films, music catalogs and life rights) and engage in mock negotiations of an underlying rights agreement and production contracts with authors.

8:15 p.m. – 8:20 p.m. Break

8:20 p.m. – 9:10 p.m. Engaging the Creative Team – Part I (1 credit)
Speakers: Nina Essman, 321 Theatrical Management, and Mark Sendroff, Esq. Sendroff & Baruch, LLP

Know the difference between an orchestrator and arranger? A vocal arranger and incidental music arranger? A music director and music supervisor? Do you know all of the considerations that go into the contracts of the music staff, including union requirements? General manager Nina Essman and attorney Mark Sendroff will explain it all.

9:10 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. Wrap Up

Wednesday, March 28, 2018 - Investor Fundamentals, Engaging the Creative Team Part II and Emerging Trends

5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Registration

6:00 p.m. – 6:05 p.m. Introductory Remarks

6:05 p.m. – 7:20 p.m. Investor Fundamentals (1.5 credits)
Speaker: Susan Mindell, Esq., Levine Plotkin & Menin, LLP

Susan will walk the group through Front Money Agreements, Joint Venture Agreements among producers, Co-Producer and Associate Producer Agreements between lead producers and major financiers and Offering Documents (i.e., the operating agreement or limited partnership agreement, and related subscription documents) between producers and investors. Susan also will discuss recent changes in the regulations. 

7:20 p.m. – 7:25 p.m. Break

7:25 p.m. – 8:15 p.m. Engaging The Creative Team – Part II (1 credit)
Speaker: Steven Chaikelson, Esq., Snug Harbor Productions

Using his unique perspective as both a lawyer and general manager, Steven will discuss other key agreements besides the rights agreements, including agreements with the director, choreographer and designers. Steven also will explain the function of the general manager and discuss the relevant terms of its contract.

8:15 p.m. – 9:05 p.m. Emerging Trends in Theater Law (1 credit)
Speakers: Loren Plotkin, Esq., Levine Plotkin & Menin, LLP, Scott Lazarus, Esq., Lazarus & Harris LLP, Gray Coleman, Esq., Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP and Jean Ward, Esq., Frankfurt Kurnit & Selz PC

Our distinguished panel will discuss emerging trends and hot topics in the theater such as recent “fair use” cases (e.g., Who’s Holiday, Jersey Boys, Hand to God and 3C), director entitlements to author income, general solicitations and crowd-funding of productions, increasing demands of underlying rights holders such as film companies and music publishers, changing requirements of not-for-profit theaters mounting developmental productions, amortization and the role of the Dramatists Guild.

9:05 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. Wrap-Up 

This program approved for up to 7.0 credit hours, in the area of professional practice for experienced attorneys only.  This program will not qualify for newly admitted attorneys because it is not a basic practical skills program.
