Nicholas Harold Rohlfing

I have used the services of Nicholas for two different entertainment issues and both had extremely favorable outcomes largely due to his expertise. In negotiating contracts for a series of concerts he secured a my fee at a rate beyond what I had hoped for and managed to have things included in my con...tract that I hadn't even considered At the end of it the people he was negotiating with liked him and complimented me on my attorney. That to me is a master negotiator. In a separate instance he authored crucial letters and refinements relative to a collaborators agreement, all to a very favorable outcome. He is easy and efficient to work with and I trust him implicitly. I give him my highest recommendation.

Nicholas raised my salary 66% over the original offer in our first negotiation. But he's not only concerned with the dollars and cents, he takes the time to consider the entire situation and make sure that I am being valued in every way. He's been able to negotiate a stipend for health insurance on n...on-union contracts. I'm a working Broadway performer, as well as a consistently working Associate to the top tier director/choreographers in NYC. While Actors Equity and AGVA have very clearly defined composition regulations for performers, there are no parameters for assistants to Creatives. Nicholas is well versed in the union contracts and has been able to clearly articulate to producers what my role and value to a production would be. Nicholas is able to maintain good relationships with producers, navigating this unchartered territory with a pleasant (yet sturdy) sensibility, in a field of our industry where talent is often taken advantage of. He also understands the boundaries of our relationship and works cohesively with my theatrical agents. For professionals like me, a lawyer like Nicholas is worth every penny.

Nicholas represents me for concert work and all things that fall outside of the jurisdiction of my "legit" and "commercial" agents. I've not worked with a more effective, kind, knowledgable, patient, and on-it rep. He's always exceeded my expectations in our negotiations and he's been incredibly atte...ntive and helpful when things have occasionally gone wrong out on the job. Always, professional and curtious, he's a perfect bridge between me and the people I work for. He's been my lawyer for 4 years and I'm very grateful for the work he continues to do.
