Jared Welsh provided exceptional counsel for our independent record label during a complex licensing negotiation with a major streaming platform. His deep understanding of entertainment law, honed over 16 years and recognized in the field, was immediately apparent. He skillfully protected our intellectual property while structuring a deal that served our long-term business goals. His advice was always strategic and grounded in practical reality. While his billing structure at Greenberg Traurig reflects his high level of expertise, and response times could occasionally be quicker during peak periods, the quality of his work was consistently outstanding. We felt confidently represented.
