About the Program

As lawyers we are more and more tasked with primary responsibility for protecting the priacy and persona of our clients. This panel will discuss legal strategies and pro-active approaches to protecting a client’s privacy and persona (brand) in a world of fake news and instantly-spread offenses over the internet and traditional news media.

Meet the Speakers
Stanton (_Larry_) Stein

Partner, Head of Media & Entertainment Group Russ August & Kabat

Stanton (“Larry”) Stein is the head of Russ August & Kabat’s Media & Entertainment group. Larry’s clients include actors, writers, directors, musicians and record executives, social media influencers, and production companies in matters adverse to the studios, record labels, and media conglomerates.

Larry is known for handling high-stakes litigation in every type of dispute that may arise in the entertainment industry, including breach of contract, profit participation and royalty disputes, defamation, violations of rights of privacy and publicity, copyright and trademark infringement, idea theft and unfair competition. Stein was the first in the industry to challenge accounting practices by vertically integrated studios and media conglomerates through litigation. His efforts changed the face of talent and rights holders’ contract negotiations with studios, networks, and their affiliated production companies, seeking to more evenly allocate revenue to profit participants.  Additionally, based on client demands, Larry more recently has expanded beyond litigation into some television and music work for clients who prefer all their work be handled by the same team. Moreover, Larry has grown his music practice by its representation of several high-profile recording artists and recording executives.  He also advises several international music artists who are in the process of crossing over into the US market.
