Copyrights and licensing

Nneka registers creative work and writes licenses in plain language.

Nneka played in a band for six years before law school, and she remembers what it was like to sign a contract she’d only half understood. She registers the work, then drafts the paper that lets someone else use it on your terms.

Her clients are writers, musicians, photographers, course creators and small studios. She drafts for them and reads what the other side sent, and always starts by asking what you want the deal to do.

Works on

  • Copyright registrations
  • License and assignment drafting
  • Review of publisher, label and brand contracts
