Houston law office serving publishing, entertainment, technology, brand, creator, and startup clients

Industries We Serve

Bronfman Law works with companies and individuals whose value depends on content, technology, brands, contracts, and business relationships. Our work often sits where intellectual property, online platforms, privacy duties, and litigation meet.

From Houston, our attorneys represent clients across the United States. We help prevent disputes when practical, and we pursue or defend claims when legal action is needed.

Publishing and Higher Education

Publishing is a core part of our practice. Bronfman Law officially represents leading educational publishers, including McGraw Hill, Cengage, Wiley, and Elsevier Evolve. We work on textbook piracy, counterfeit books, unauthorized file sharing, marketplace listings, domain issues, and other forms of copyright and trademark infringement.

Our team supports publisher enforcement programs through investigation, DMCA notices, platform takedowns, demand letters, negotiated resolutions, and federal court litigation. We also advise on licensing, rights management, and brand protection. Learn more about our copyright enforcement work for publishers and content owners.

Film and Entertainment

Film and entertainment companies face rapid online distribution, reposting, impersonation, and unauthorized use of protected works. We assist with anti-piracy strategy, takedown programs, platform reporting, and claims involving websites, social media accounts, hosting providers, search results, and online marketplaces.

Our work also includes licensing review, chain of title issues, production related agreements, and disputes over the use of creative works. For more on this area, see our article on protecting film content online.

Technology and SaaS

Technology companies need contracts that match how their products are built, sold, supported, and updated. We represent software companies, SaaS providers, vendors, and business customers in matters involving subscription terms, software licensing, service agreements, data processing terms, API access, platform rules, and online user terms.

We also advise on privacy compliance, state privacy laws, data incident response, vendor risk, and product workflows that involve personal information. Our technology and privacy law practice is designed for companies that need clear guidance on both transactions and legal risk.

Authors, Creators and Media

Authors, journalists, artists, educators, photographers, podcasters, and other creators often need help protecting their work while keeping business relationships intact. We assist with copyright ownership, licensing terms, content permissions, collaboration agreements, infringement notices, and responses to improper use of creative materials.

We also help media businesses review publishing agreements, contributor terms, sponsorship language, release forms, and online platform policies. When a dispute arises, we focus on the evidence, the available rights, and the practical business goal.

Consumer Brands

Consumer brands rely on names, logos, product images, packaging, advertising, and customer trust. We help businesses clear and register trademarks, manage trademark portfolios, review license terms, address counterfeit listings, and respond to online misuse of brand assets. Our broader intellectual property practice supports brand owners at each stage of growth.

We also represent companies in disputes involving false advertising, unfair competition, contract rights, trade secrets, and business torts. Some matters can be resolved through takedowns or direct negotiations. Others require injunctions, discovery, motion practice, or trial preparation.

Startups and Growing Companies

Startups and growing companies often need legal help before a problem becomes expensive. We advise on founder related IP questions, software ownership, contractor agreements, customer contracts, privacy notices, vendor terms, license rights, and early brand protection. We aim to give practical advice that founders and operators can use.

As companies grow, disputes may involve customers, vendors, competitors, former employees, investors, or online platforms. Our litigation team can evaluate risk, prepare pre-suit strategy, and represent clients in court when needed. You can review our attorney team on the attorneys page.
