The Adler Law Group is a boutique intellectual property, media & entertainment law firm devoted to helping entrepreneurs and creative professionals identify, protect and monetize their creative content and ideas. Most of our services focus on issues related to safeguarding ideas, relationships and talent The motivation to create the firm stems from experiences running the Entrepreneurial & Start-up Ventures Committee and the Media, Arts & Entertainment Committee of the Chicago Bar Association, as well as public speaking in the areas of intellectual property, information technology, privacy, security and social media. Every forum meeting or presentation ended with in-depth questions from the audience. Since I rarely had time to answer these questions or provide any depth to my response, I decided to publish a blog, @adlerlaw (http://adlerlaw.wordpress.com) to share my knowledge and educate creative professionals to be better consumers of legal services. Our services focus on the protection and commercialization of ideas, usually through application of intellectual property law concepts such as trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and publicity rights, and the legal risk and issues that arise from creative relationships with designers, manufacturers, distributors, ad agencies, retailers, and licensees. Our services are directly relevant to entrepreneurs and businesses in the creative arts and information technology industries, but any business that generates creative content (software developers, mobile application developers, start-ups, and even physicians) will find useful information.
