  • You're a creator, artist, or musician wondering who owns your work.

Common Questions

Answers, in plain language.

The questions we hear most often about protecting brands, creative work, and intellectual property.

What areas of law does Zala IP Law LLC handle?

We focus on entertainment law, copyright, trademark, and IP licensing, along with music law, film and production law, internet and influencer law, clearance rights, music sample clearance, personal brand and NIL rights, and brand and distribution law.

Who will I be working with?

You work directly with Attorney Shreepal “Shreeps” J. Zala throughout your matter, not a case handler or paralegal.

You're licensed in Georgia but work with clients in New York?

Yes. Attorney Zala is licensed in Georgia and serves clients nationwide, including the metro New York area, in entertainment law and federal intellectual property matters.

Because IP and copyright are federal, there is typically no ethics conflict for these matters. He is not licensed to practice New York state law.

Do you help with film and media issues as well?

Yes. Our entertainment practice includes film production legal work such as chain of title issues and documentation, investor agreements, and talent agreements and releases.

We also handle contracts, clearances, and releases for media production companies and personalities.

What is IP licensing and why does it matter?

IP licensing lets you monetize your intellectual property by granting others the right to use it under defined terms, turning your creative assets into a source of ongoing revenue.

Do you work with independent artists and musicians?

Yes. We regularly represent independent artists, musicians, producers, and other creatives navigating contracts, publishing deals, sample clearances, and IP protection.

Do I need to register my trademark if I already have a business or LLC?

If you want to be fully protected at the federal level, yes. Registering your trademark with the USPTO is the only way to ensure you can stop a similar brand from using your mark online.

What makes Zala IP Law different from other IP firms?

Attorney Zala brings firsthand experience from the creative and entertainment industries, allowing him to approach IP strategy not just legally, but with a real understanding of how brands and creative careers are built and scaled.
