About the Summit
The L.A. Law Summit will gather top attorneys, talent, agents, managers, executives, and other industry insiders to explore the seismic shifts, demands, and dockets of today’s entertainment industry.
About the Sessions
Cheryl’s session, “The Rights and Wrongs of IP,” will examine how film and TV creators can defend and protect their intellectual property (“IP”) in the streaming era, what creators can do when they’re falsely accused of stealing an idea, and the unfortunate cost of litigation over such claims.
Craig’s session, “AI: Navigating the Realities & Possibilities of Digital Hollywood,” will explore how artificial intelligence (“AI”)-generated likenesses, voices, and creative works are driving new legal fights—from unauthorized commercial use to disputed copyright. The panel will cover licensing, the extent of platform accountability, and where fair-use protections end.
Other sessions include:
- M&A Today
- Creating the Creator Economy
