A seasoned publishing lawyer, Mitch Tuchman helps authors and publishers develop mutually beneficial business relationships. He is a copyright attorney who has advised scores of authors, authors’ and artists’ estates, architects, photographers, filmmakers, educational and other nonprofit organizations as well as publishers of print and online books with respect to the value and enforcement of their intellectual property and has vetted manuscripts to identify legal risks associated with third-party claims.

Before becoming an intellectual property and literary attorney, Mitch spent ten years as a freelance writer and editor and fourteen years as the publisher of exhibition and collection catalogues at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. As a publisher and writer himself, he understands copyright matters from the client’s perspective.

Mitch’s trademark clients represent the gamut of American enterprise.

Outside of work Mitch enjoys numerous community commitments, including membership on the boards of the Museum of Durham History, Preservation Durham and Letters Community Bookshop. He collects 19th and 20th-century ceramics and is the author of several books on arts and crafts.
