Practice Area
Guilds & Unions
Guild and union law covers the collective bargaining agreements, minimum basic agreements, and labor disputes that govern working conditions for writers, directors, actors, musicians, and other entertainment professionals. The 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes brought guild contract law to the forefront of entertainment practice.
Why It Matters for Law Students
Every major studio deal is negotiated against the backdrop of guild minimums. Understanding MBA provisions, residual formulas, and union jurisdiction is foundational for any attorney advising talent or studios in Los Angeles.
