Join Hanan Kolko, Partner at Cohen, Weiss, Simon; Tanvir Rahman, Managing Partner at Filippatos LLC; and Jason Rozger, Partner at Menken, Simpson & Rozger LLP for guidance in how to maneuver the challenging terrain of representing creatives in employment and labor law claims. Explore: (1) who to name as a defendant, including considerations related to individual liability and collectability; (2) how to manage the classification of creative talent as independent contractors or LLCs; (3) the interplay with unions, including in the use of standardized project contracts, LMRA preemption and parallel proceedings; (4) idiosyncratic issues related to jurisdiction and damages; and (5) Constitutional and statutory defenses you rarely encounter.
