Marcia B. Paul

Marcia Paul has decades of experience litigating and counseling clients, many in the media and entertainment space, on copyright, trademark, advertising, and general media issues. Many of those cases have raised legal issues of first impression at both the trial court and appellate levels. Although Marcia is based in New York, her practice is a national one, and Marcia’s more recent litigation experience includes new technologies and digital media.

Marcia’s experience has taught her several things that guide her practice. First, one size does not fit all - her role differs depending on the client’s needs and the complexities of each case. Second, obtaining positive litigation results is a product of effective teamwork - building a lean, internal team that communicates well, and partnering with clients to help accomplish their business and policy goals, are essential. Third, although early settlement is often the best practical option, Marcia’s extensive experience trying cases in state and federal courts around the country (including jury trials) helps to telegraph her clients’ willingness to go the distance, if necessary.
