Meet Alisha Buckman

I’ve spent my personal and professional life involved in the creative arts, as both an artist and a lawyer. That’s why I deeply understand the need to protect my clients’ original creative works. This might include literary works, films, music, artwork, photography, performances, and more.

Today, artists and entrepreneurs have more ways to reach their audiences than ever before. There are also more pitfalls to navigate.

As an attorney, I help creative artists and entrepreneurs maintain control of their art and businesses in the following ways:

  • Entity formation, including LLCs, Corporations, and Non-Profits
  • Registered agent services
  • General business consultation
  • Partnership Agreements, Service Agreements, and Franchise Agreements
  • Copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office
  • Trademark application submission with the US Trademark and Patent Office (U.S.P.T.O.)
  • Office Action responses with the U.S.P.T.O.
  • The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (T.T.A.B.) Issues
  • Settle or litigate copyright and trademark violation issues
  • Draft, negotiate, and review contracts with an attention to intellectual property, including Publication Agreements, Distribution Agreements, and Licensing Agreements

I have a passion for helping creative artists and small businesses. I look forward to consulting with you on protecting what you’ve created!
