Ep 6: What Would Elle Woods Do? (Interview with Hillary Hughes)

Today’s episode features Foster Garvey entertainment attorney Hillary Hughes! As screenwriters breaking into the biz, we thought a legal chat was long overdue. Hillary not only specializes in entertainment law, but she also works in food and beverage, beauty and wellness, consumer packaged goods, sports, fashion and apparel, and AI. She is a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In this helpful and informative chat, Hillary shares what an entertainment lawyer does, when we might need one, how to navigate shopping agreements and copyright issues, and reveals her favorite romcom! (Spoiler alert: she has good taste.)
