The Carrington Firm trains its professionals to protect client interest first; and in the Entertainment space, often that protection is in relation to creativity through copyrights and publishing; but even the litigation side to pursue action when and where a client's rights have been abridged. Composers, songwriters, performing artists, music producers, music promoters, and industry executives have all relied on the firm to protect their interest in contracts, licenses, and other legal documents to make, secure and ensure their living. The firm's attorneys help their clients negotiate royalties, review contract terms, negotiate settlements on behalf of their clients.
