Adult Entertainment Law
If the First Amendment means anything, it is the right to freely express the most basic and fundamental rights: the right to please and be pleased. Though California remains a mainstay of the Adult Entertainment industry, the internet has changed the game. Like any business, the Adult Entertainment Industry has had to adapt to new technologies and in some cases, resistance from some member of the public who place their own sense of morality above the constitutional rights of others. This is where our team comes in.
In addition to the standard business services that we provide to all our business clients, we also address issues that are somewhat unique to the Adult Entertainment Industry. These include:
- Addressing and remaining compliant with Obscenity Laws
- Addressing and Protecting the Rights of Privacy
- Addressing and Protecting the Rights of Publicity
- Distinguishing between Pornography and Prostitution
- Trademark protection
- Navigating the CA-SPAM act and FTC regulations regarding sexually Explicit Materials

- Employment and Management issues in Gentlemen's Clubs
- Trademark protection for Entertainers.
