Welcome. I’m Chuck Cordes.
I’m a lawyer devoted to helping artists and creative entrepreneurs protect and grow their businesses.
Let’s secure your rights and resolve your concerns.
Clear, thorough, and efficient legal counsel for your business needs.
Copyright
Copyright issues are at the heart of an art business. I handle all sorts of copyright matters, including license and publishing agreement reviews, copyright infringement disputes, and copyright registration.
Business
Are you considering incorporating your business or forming an LLC? I can advise you on the considerations relevant to your unique situation, as well as help with federal, state, and local filings.
Trademark
Your trademark may be your single most valuable asset as an art business. It’s well worth protecting! I can help with official trademark registration and resolving trademark disputes.
These are my most popular service areas, but there are many other ways I advise and support creative entrepreneurs.
MY MISSION
I believe artists have the power to transform society for the better, and I’m committed to helping them succeed.
