NEW CLIENT NEWS!
We're Proud To Represent LISA E. DAVIS For Her New Book!
LISA E. DAVIS, author of the new book Our Minds Were Always Free (Simon & Schuster), is one of the most respected entertainment attorneys in the country. Currently a partner at Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, Davis is chair of the firm’s Entertainment Group. She’s been representing celebrities in the film, television, publishing, music, theater, and sports industries for more than four decades.
Hitting bookstores on May 19, 2026, Davis's groundbreaking non-fiction work "traces the epic journey Black Americans have been on, from being claimed as property to claiming the benefits of intellectual property ... Beginning in the 18th century with the drafting of the Constitution and ending in the 21st century with a warning about the role technology will play in creative industries, Our Minds Were Always Free tells the story of the indelible legacy of Black American genius and the struggle to receive the credit and the profit" that is well deserved.
We're proud to represent Lisa and are receiving media inquiries HERE. Follow @lisaedavisauthor on IG!
