New Media

Ever in the process of expanding and changing, the entertainment and high-tech industries are converging, resulting in a world of technologically advanced and innovative products commonly referred to as “new media.” New media is emerging as an industry in its own right. Today, the new media industry includes satellite, mobile, video and broadband, podcasts and other innovative, high-tech delivery systems and products which have yet to enter the marketplace.

Berger Kahn combines unsurpassed experience in entertainment law, with highly specialized expertise in legal matters pertaining to new media, high-tech and emerging companies to provide unique representation of its clients. Our experience ranges from advising clients on financing of start-up and established new media firms to legal issues relating to new media content.

The firm’s comprehensive approach to counseling new media clients enables us to present options that might be overlooked by those who lack a “big picture” view of the new media industry or depth of experience within a specific area impacting new media. We maintain global relationships with colleagues specializing in new media and high-tech matters, which enables us to represent clients both bi-coastally and internationally.

Berger Kahn’s new media group is comprised of:

  • Some of the nation’s most seasoned and well-respected attorneys.

  • Lawyers with significant experience in advising start-up companies and in guiding them through IPOs and even through the process of becoming listed on public stock exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange.

  • Experts in high-tech and computer law, including that related to CD-ROMs, the Internet and other technologies.

All of our attorneys are innovative individuals with a long history of representing clients in the entertainment, high-tech, computer and emerging company fields. We represent not only new media clients, but the companies that service them. Our clientele includes content providers and producers, developers and manufacturers of enabling technologies, as well as nationally and internationally known performers, writers and artists.

Collectively, our attorneys have represented such renowned artists and entities as Elton John (in connection with “The Lion King,” which won an Academy Award and involved the publication of a CD-ROM), Kenny Rogers, the late Frank Zappa, Citicorp Venture Capital, Nippon Television Network Corporation, Rhino Records and Rhino Films.

The firm is often featured and quoted in both trade publications and newspapers concerning the entertainment and new media industries. Many members of our firm serve as consultants and executive producers on specific industry projects; others author industry-related books and articles, serve on editorial advisory boards to industry publications and lecture before legal, entertainment and new media groups.

Berger Kahn is unique in providing services for new media companies because of its expertise in entertainment law, high-tech law, computer law and the law relating to financing both start-up and established new media firms, and because of its strategic partnerships with both domestic and foreign firms which provide a variety of services to new media firms.
