I'm a New England-based lawyer who represents artists, filmmakers, design firms, production companies, and creative entrepreneurs. My law practice focuses on entertainment and art law, intellectual property, business laws and contract issues. My goal is to help creative people leverage their work and turn the law from an obstacle into an ally. I regularly speak at colleges, non-profit arts organizations and professional associations about how the law affects their artistic endeavors. Before the law, I spent seven years producing television documentaries for Discovery Channel, Court TV, A&E, and a slew of others. I earned a B.F.A. in film and animation from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002 and got my J.D. in 2012 from the Northeastern University School of Law. I'm licensed to practice in New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Great for Designers!
Greg was referred to me by a former colleague as someone who has a depth of knowledge about my industry in particular. This knowledge helps him better understand where designers can get hurt in their contracts and therefore better protect them. He's super available and easy to work with and I give hi...

I worked with Greg to set up my small business and I'm so incredibly glad I did! I had not business experience whatsoever and was very nervous about the entire process.
