Legal protection for the people building the creator economy.
I'm Casey Handy-Smith, an entertainment and IP attorney. For over a decade, I've helped creators, talent, and the businesses behind them protect their brands, their intellectual property, and the deals they sign. I do that through my firm, on stages teaching the terms that shape this industry, and through tools that bring legal protection to more of the creator economy.
