Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz PC offers comprehensive advertising and marketing transactional services as well as advice on regulatory compliance matters. The firm, based in New York, has experience in advertising production and media clearance, talent agreements and contracts, as well as sponsorships. Areas of recent growth particularly cover AdTech deals and advice on the use of influencers in social media campaigns. The team is co-chaired by Terri Seligman and Hannah Taylor – Seligman is highly regarded for representing clients in competitive advertising disputes before the NAD, broadcast networks, and state and local enforcement agencies, while Taylor’s concentration on media-related agreements and compliance matters has led her to frequently appear before regulatory bodies such as the FTC. Taylor’s experience in digital media, blockchain, and AI is central to the practice’s work in emerging technology. Candice Kersh specializes in structuring entertainment deals, negotiating talent agreements, and advising on advertising campaigns. Jeffrey Greenbaum is particularly noted for his prowess in advertising regulation, SAG-AFTRA issues, and clearance matters. Brian Murphy and Christopher Chase are active on cases relating to copyright, trademark, and rights.
