Amy J. Everhart

Amy J. Everhart founded her law firm to counsel individuals and organizations in the creative industries, entrepreneurs, inventors, business owners, and others with legal needs in the areas of trademark, copyright, entertainment, and the internet.

Ms. Everhart has devoted her law practice to the representation of creative and entrepreneurial clients, guiding them from the initial protection of their “lightbulb moment” to implementation and then policing and defending it. Ms. Everhart has extensive experience handling intellectual property and entertainment disputes in federal and state court. She played a significant role in coordinating the joint defense of hundreds of rap-sampling copyright-infringement lawsuits brought simultaneously against major record companies and music publishers in the landmark Bridgeport Music, Inc. litigation in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. A co-author of the Tennessee Protection of Minor Performers Act, Ms. Everhart has unique knowledge of legal issues affecting minors in the entertainment industries.

From 1998 to 2009, Ms. Everhart practiced with Nashville law firm Riley Warnock & Jacobson, PLC, where she focused her practice on commercial litigation, entertainment, copyright, trademark, internet, and other intellectual-property matters. She was named a member of the firm in 2008.
