REVOLT

“And I’m still not your attorney.” Focused on education, empowerment and entertainment, POPLAW is the podcast where pop culture, business, entertainment and law intersect. Attorney and creative storyteller Desiree Talley explores cultural hot topics from a legal perspective through provocative conversations with industry executives such as Athlete and Entrepreneur, Brandon Marshall and Advertising Executive, Tope Ajala; Attorneys: Emeka Madubuogo and Ashli Jones-Mejia; and influential artists such as Actor and Recording Artist Algee Smith on real-life legal issues. Desiree and her guests dive into life rights, contract disputes, contract negotiations, copyright and trademark infringement, defamation suits, NDAs and best practices for negotiation tools and key contract provisions. Not to be confused as legal advice, the answer to your legal woes just may lie in episodes of POPLAW.
