Gerald W.
My clients know me as more than just an attorney. First and foremost, my background is much broader than that. Prior to attending the Valparaiso University School of Law, I earned a Master of Business Administration and ran a small business as a certified public accountant. Thanks to this experience, I possess unique insight which in turn allows me to better assist my clients with a wide range of business and tax matters today. In total, I have over 20 years of experience in financial management, tax law, and business consulting, and I’m proud to say that I’m utilizing the knowledge I’ve gained to assist the community of Round Rock in a variety of ways. In my current practice, I provide counsel to small to medium-sized businesses, nonprofit organizations, and everyday individuals. Though my primary areas of practice are estate planning, elder law, business consulting, and tax planning, I pride myself on assisting my clients in a comprehensive manner. Whenever I take on a new client, I make an effort to get to know them on a personal level. This, of course, begins with listening. It is important that I fully understand their vision so I can help them successfully translate it into a concrete plan of action that meets their goals and expectations. I appreciate the individual attributes of each client and know firsthand that thoughtful, creative, and customized planning can maximize both financial security and personal happiness. During my time as a certified public accountant, I cultivated an invaluable skill set. After all, while my legal education has given me a deep understanding of tax law, I would not be the tax attorney I am today without my background in accounting. Due to my far-reaching experience, I am competent in unraveling even the most complex tax mysteries and disputes. My CPA training benefits my estate planning practice, too. In the process of drafting comprehensive wills and trusts, I carefully account for every asset and plan for any tax burdens that may arise, often facilitating a much smoother inheritance for the heirs of my clients. Prior to becoming certified as a CPA, I made sure to establish a solid foundation in business both in and out of the classroom, and the acumen I’ve attained has served me well. Not only am I better able to run my own practice than I otherwise would be; I am able to help other small business owners fulfill their dreams, as well.

Licensing
Photography Licence Agreement
Maryland
Can a photographer transfer the rights to their photos to a client through a Photography License Agreement?
I am a professional photographer and I recently received a request from a client to transfer the rights to the photos I took for them. I want to understand if it is legally possible to transfer these rights through a Photography License Agreement, as I am unsure about the specific terms and conditions that need to be included in such an agreement to ensure a smooth and legal transfer of the rights.
Randy M.
Yes, you can transfer rights to your photos, but the type of agreement you use determines what rights the client actually receives. A standard Photography License Agreement typically gives the client permission to use your photos under defined terms while you retain ownership of the copyright. If your client is asking for full ownership, that requires something more: a written copyright assignment. Licensing vs. Copyright Transfer When you license your photos, you’re giving the client a right to use them for specific purposes—say, for a website, in print ads, or across social media. You still own the images and can license them to others unless the license is exclusive. A license can be narrow or broad. For example, you might grant a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license for all commercial uses, or limit it to a single use in a single country for one year. Everything depends on the terms you set. This is the most common arrangement in freelance photography because it preserves your ability to earn future income from the same work. Transferring the copyright, on the other hand, means giving up your legal ownership altogether. The client becomes the new copyright owner and gains the exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, display, modify, or even re-license the work. You can no longer use or sell the photos yourself unless you retain certain rights in the agreement. A copyright transfer must be in writing and signed by you under 17 U.S.C. § 204(a). If the client wants full ownership, you either need a standalone Copyright Assignment Agreement or include a clearly written assignment clause in your contract. Key Clauses for Either Option Regardless of whether you're licensing or assigning rights, your agreement should be explicit about what’s being granted. First, clarify the scope of rights by identifying what the client can and cannot do with the images. List permitted uses such as commercial, editorial, or personal, as well as the geographic territory, time limits if any, and whether the client may modify or sublicense the photos. Next, define the compensation structure, whether it is a flat fee, based on royalties, or conditional on specific uses. Then address any rights you intend to retain. For example, even in a full copyright assignment, you might include a license-back clause that allows you to use the images in your portfolio, marketing materials, or for competition entries. Don’t overlook technical details. List exactly what the client will receive: number of photos, file formats, resolution, editing level, and delivery method. If you're not providing RAW files, say so. If delivery is contingent on payment, make that clear too. Red Flags and Special Situations Be cautious about contracts that include “work for hire” language. Under U.S. law, a freelance photographer’s work doesn’t qualify as a work for hire unless it meets specific statutory categories and there’s a written agreement that uses that exact term. Otherwise, you're the default copyright owner. Clients sometimes insert the "work for hire" clause by default, but agreeing to it without understanding the implications can strip you of your rights from the moment the photo is created. If you're considering a copyright transfer, ask yourself whether you’re comfortable never using those images again, even for your own marketing. If the answer is no, consider negotiating a broad license instead, or insist on a license-back provision. You can always charge more for a full transfer since you're giving up long-term control and potential revenue. And remember, copyright assignments are permanent unless otherwise stated. If the client doesn’t use the images or disappears, you don’t automatically get the rights back. You’d need to build in a reversion clause if you want the rights to return to you after a certain period or under certain conditions. If you're navigating a licensing agreement or copyright transfer and want legal guidance, the attorneys on Contracts Counsel can help you get it right.

Video License Agreement
Georgia
Does a Video License Agreement allow me to use licensed videos for commercial purposes?
I have recently come across a Video License Agreement for a collection of videos that I am interested in using for a project. However, I am unsure if this license permits me to use the videos for commercial purposes, such as incorporating them into a promotional video for a product I am selling. I want to make sure I am legally allowed to use these videos before proceeding with the purchase.
Jerome L.
Hi there, Whether a Video License Agreement allows you to use the videos for commercial purposes depends entirely on the terms of the specific license. Not all video licenses are created equal, and the permitted uses can vary significantly. Here are a few key points to consider before proceeding: How to Know if Commercial Use is Allowed: Check for “Commercial Use” Language: The license should explicitly state whether commercial use is permitted. Look for terms like: “Commercial use allowed” “Use in advertising or promotional content” “Monetized projects” Distinguish Between License Types: Personal or Editorial Use: These usually do not permit use in product promotions or paid campaigns. Royalty-Free or Commercial Licenses: These often do permit business use, but always check the fine print. Watch for Restrictions or Limitations: Even if commercial use is allowed, some licenses limit: The number of views or distributions Modifications to the content Platforms where it can be used (e.g., online vs. broadcast) Exclusivity & Resale: Be sure the license does not prohibit derivative or promotional use if you are editing or combining clips. Also, resale or redistribution is usually not allowed unless specifically stated. Always Keep a Copy of the License Terms: If a dispute ever arises, having clear documentation of the license terms protects you legally. Before purchasing, I highly recommend reviewing the full agreement carefully or having an attorney take a look to ensure your intended use aligns with the license rights. If you would like assistance reviewing the agreement before you proceed, I would be happy to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Business & Intellectual Property Attorney

Intellectual Property License Agreement
California
Can I terminate an Intellectual Property License Agreement if the licensee is not fulfilling their obligations?
I am a software developer who entered into an Intellectual Property License Agreement with a company to allow them to use my software in their products. However, the licensee has consistently failed to meet their obligations specified in the agreement, such as providing regular reports and paying the agreed-upon royalties. I am concerned about the potential damage to my reputation and the financial implications of their non-compliance. Can I terminate the agreement and revoke their license if they continue to neglect their obligations?
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to answer this question and I'm sorry to hear about your situation. The short answer to your question is that it depends very heavily on what's in the agreement. A well-drafted agreement would have information about what a party can do if the other party breaches the agreement. Here, you said they weren't providing regular reports or paying the royalties, which is a breach, but it does not automatically mean you have a right to terminate the agreement. What you can do for sure is threaten to sue. The reason is that this is a breach of contract. A breach of contract simply means that one party was obligated to perform and they have either not performed or have said that they will not perform. (Restatement (Second) of Contracts.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. What you could do in the interim is suspend any licensing of course; however, the more immediate option is to send a demand that they perform their obligations. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Cease and Desist
I have received a cease and desisit a few months ago for procticing unlicensed massage. I have never done such. I am a Reiki Master Practitioner which has nothing to do with massage. Unbeknownst to me FL considers this massage!! This is ludacris. Whoever deemed Reiki as massage needs to do research. Now I've been placed into the National Practitioners Data base as a unlicensed massage therapist. I have no desire to practice massage. Please advise on how I can remedy this situation. Gratefully thankful for any direction.
Jane C.
You will have to explain why the state of Florida is involved in this matter? I suggest you write a letter to National Practitioners Database to explain the matter clearly and provide proof of you licensing.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
