About us
Hi, I’m Christine-Marie Lauture.
I’m an award-winning intellectual property and litigation attorney whose main priority is to help safeguard the ownership and value of creators like you.
Based in NYC and Long Island, I have years of experience in intellectual property, litigation, entertainment, and contracts, serving clients throughout the United States and internationally. I bring a breadth of knowledge in intellectual property law with my experience of counseling clients across various entertainment and technology-related industries, including: digital media, music, photography, podcasting, tech, fashion, consumer goods, e-sports and gaming, sports, performing arts, and publishing.
Growing up as a kid engulfed in the arts (dance & choreography, theater, music, sports, you name it), it was my destiny to fulfill my passion of protecting and serving the very spaces and communities that helped nurture my creativity. After pursuing my legal education with a focus in intellectual property, media, and information law, and later servicing a wide-scale of clients from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, I realized that IP remains a foreign area of law for most creatives and business owners.
In an ever-evolving area of law and looking to help translate its respective IP vernacular, I founded Lauture IP to bridge the knowledge gap.
As a business owner myself, I know first-hand what comes with being an entrepreneur and how to legally protect your business and make sure it thrives! Whether the task at hand is on the lighter end of performing IP searches, filing, portfolio management, reviewing entertainment contracts, or on the more complex end of IP prosecution, oppositions, take-downs, and infringement, my focus is to provide practical advice to help you focus on bringing life to your visions and perfecting your business.
