Lucas LLP is a transactional practice dedicated to structuring, negotiating, and managing alliances for parties who seek high-value working relationships.

We are pleased to work with individuals and with corporate clients in a range of industries. In addition to clients with general business concerns, we are proud to work on matters of particular interest to those in the literary and visual arts, in book, magazine, and journal publishing, in public relations, in the design community, and in the many spheres of the fine arts. We assist our arts-related clients with their transactions and also offer assistance in a range of areas related to the production, acquisition, and exploitation of their work.

What sets Lucas LLP apart is its collaborative attitude, one that doesn't evaporate when the contract is signed. Finalizing an agreement or completing a transaction can be exhilarating or exhausting—and sometimes both—but for some clients the real work begins after the contract is signed. We aim to create agreements and structure business plans that work in practice and that provide our clients with the opportunities to realize the value they anticipate.

Make no mistake: Agreements that are successful in practice can be difficult to achieve. Parties may have different understandings, may come from divergent backgrounds, and often bring fears and the weight of past experiences with them to the negotiating table. Once an agreement has been reached, a working relationship can be tested by the demands of the marketplace, by cultural differences, and by changes in the parties' expectations and circumstances. Lucas LLP is therefore available not only to structure the original agreement but also as an ongoing advisor to ensure the best possible results during the course of the agreement.

We welcome inquiries from potential clients about how we might work with you to further and protect your interests, to develop your opportunities, and to pursue your passion. Whether your work is a new business or a new short story, the sale or purchase of original artwork, or the licensing of rights in existing art and literary works, we are available to discuss how our experience can benefit you.
