Whether you are producers, investors, writers, directors, actors, or one of the many other industry talents, we have the experience to help you bring your stories to a screen near you.

Financing & Corporate
Like fingerprints, no two projects are 100% identical. From single-project financing to multi-project deals… From closely held LLCs to multi-investor corporate structures… From family-and-friend investments to secured bank lending, Rivet Legal boils the boilerplate down to neat and clear terms tailored to your project.
DEVELOPMENT & RIGHTS
Who owns the project? Can you use that phrase for the title of your project? Do you know? Rivet Legal wades through the weeds of details so you can sleep well at night knowing what you own and don’t own, can and can’t do. Rivet Legal’s laser-focused issue-spotting and issue-resolution experience will help you address intellectual property issues so you can focus on the story.
licensing & distribution
Rivet Legal’s strong in-house legal and business affairs expertise offers unparalleled perspective on licensing and distribution. We’ve been on the side of the producer. We’ve been on the side of the distributor. We know how to find the common ground to cultivate a productive working relationship and get the project out to audience eyeballs.
STRATEGY &
BUSINESS AFFAIRS
Rivet Legal understands that the entertainment and media space is a Sisyphean series of startups and small businesses. We can leverage our vast collective experience to offer you a balance of legal, business, and financial strategies for clear planning, execution, and problem-solving. We’ve been through it. We are undaunted.
CLEARANCES, INSURANCE,
& delivery
If we still have your interest, then yes, we admit it: we do use that snooty comma. Some say Oxford. Some say Harvard. But we say the devil is in the details. If you don’t have the details, then you don’t have approved delivery. If you don’t have approved delivery, you don’t get your license fee. Let Rivet Legal know if you want your very own Oxford comma.
