1. How would you describe the way your law firm operates?

Damien Granderson states: My company specializes in entertainment, but we have an additional focus on athlete representation and brand management. In our prime, we represented clients who were some of the biggest names in professional sports, including Super Bowl MVPs and All-Stars (Trademarkia). 

I’m also the co-founder of GrandName Media, a talent agency that was initially designed to sign rising stars in all fields before they made it big. As you can imagine, this kind of representation is very resource intensive, as it requires a tremendous amount of social capital and connections to secure such clients.

It’s the cornerstone of our firm and speaks to the level of opulence found content with athletes, artists, and other entertainers.
