Antheil Maslow & MacMinn, LLP provides comprehensive legal services to biotechnology and life science and  clients of local and national prominence.  Since the pharmaceutical industry is such an essential component of the Greater Delaware Valley economy, we have acquired an in-depth understanding of the challenges facing both founders and upper management employees servicing this sector.  We offer practical guidance to life science clients that are startups, publicly traded companies, health care providers of all sizes and academic and research institutions.

Antheil Maslow & MacMinn attorneys have extensive experience assisting clients in determining the appropriate form of entity, equity ownership, bonus incentive alternatives, strategic relationships, initial funding and working capital sources and exit planning strategies. Acknowledging that critical partnering, licensing, joint venture and other collaboration transactions are key to the success of most clients associated with life science and biotech, AMM has a working knowledge of fundamental industry terms and applications which allows us to successfully craft documents that withstand the near-certain unexpected evolution of every project.   We have successfully negotiated on our clients’ behalf with angel investors, venture capital funds, corporate venture arms and industry buyers looking to diversify their life science and biotechnology services or product offerings. 

AMM lawyers also work with our life science clients and other innovators in filing and maintaining applications to register trademarks and copyrights and, when necessary, AMM litigators handle an array of disputes related to trademark, copyright, trade secret and unfair competition claims.  

Oscar Wilde once said “No great artist ever sees things as they really are.  If he did, he would cease to be an artist!” 

Antheil Maslow & MacMinn’s clients doing business in the arts, entertainment and media sectors have unique legal challenges and we think it is our job to see things clearly.  In addition to superior skill in contract negotiations that protect our clients’ financial rights, our attorneys have the experience required to identify potential threats to intellectual property rights and strategic relationships that are essential to these frequently multi-party ventures.

AMM attorneys have represented clients creating original work in traditional mediums and new media, social networking, interactive entertainment, video games, software and electronic content sharing and publishing. Adding the necessary layer of insight to routine business, tax and estate planning representation, AMM attorneys representing creators and entertainers (or the businesses that employ or engage them) regularly handle co-production, development and distribution agreements,  fiscal sponsorship, merchandising and licensing documentation and term specific grant of rights or purchase arrangements.  We have also advised on numerous gallary agreements, artist management agreements and motion picture production financing, and have served multiple times as counsel in connection with intellectual property litigation and rights enforcement.
