Ken Anderson concentrates on the representation of premier talent and entrepreneurs in the music, entertainment, internet and new media industries.

He handles business and legal affairs and supervises litigation on behalf of recording and touring artists, composers, producers, music publishers, progressive record companies, film distribution companies, television networks, and internet entrepreneurs.
