Introduction
My name is John J. Tormey III. I am a New York lawyer, also admitted to practice in California and the District of Columbia. I have a general commercial law practice, with a focus on entertainment, art, media, intellectual property (copyright and trademark), limited liability company law, and music A&R (Artist & Repertoire) matters. Active matters for my New York law practice include film; music; television; publishing; new business start-ups (these days oft-characterized by the creation and filing of a limited liability company and the drafting of an LLC operating agreement); life-story rights and other rights matters; other contract drafting and negotiation; Internet and computer affairs; and other transactional, employment, and corporate work. As a music lawyer, film lawyer, television lawyer, and entertainment attorney generally, I also provide legal services to assist artists and others in their endeavors to submit and place their material with professional entertainment, publishing, and media industry recipients - including film, music, and television projects. I formerly served as Counsel to The Walt Disney Company, and Senior Counsel and Senior Litigation Counsel to Miramax Films. My experience includes music law, motion pictures, production counsel, life-story rights, television, intellectual property (copyright and trademark), art, radio, animation, merchandising, licensing, publishing, advertising, marketing and publicity, casting, photography, modeling, interactive media, and wills and estates.
