The intersection of AI, entertainment law, and creative industry practice raises questions that organizations, institutions, and companies across many sectors are navigating right now. The challenge isn’t just understanding what the law says — it’s understanding what it means, where it’s heading, and what it requires in practice. That takes someone who has been working at this intersection for years, not someone who pivoted to it when it became a trending topic.
Van Lier Law’s founder brings a uniquely cross-disciplinary perspective: a practicing attorney with deep entertainment law and labor experience, a published scholar on synthetic performers and digital replicas, and an educator who teaches some of the first courses on AI and entertainment law in the country at USC Gould School of Law, Loyola Law School, and Southwestern Law School. She is also a featured speaker at venues including San Diego Comic-Con and CES, and has appeared at bar association conferences nationwide.
Consulting and speaking engagements are tailored to the specific needs and audience of each client — whether that’s a board-level briefing on AI legal risk, a CLE program for attorneys, a training session for a production company or studio, or a keynote for a conference. The through-line is always the same: genuine expertise, communicated clearly.
