Sekou Campbell(I)

I attended Vanderbilt University as a Dean's and Posse Scholar and then Columbia University's School of the Arts, earning an M.F.A. in Theater. I have been an actor (for theaters like LaMaMa ETC, the former Berkshire Theatre Festival, and Vital Theatre Company); founding teacher of the Bronx Charter School for the Arts, and theater producer at the Mud/Bone Collective. Working at a start-up school and theater company, I began to see how creative intellectual companies require strong and thoughtful legal representation, and so I went to law school.

I attended Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where I interned for a life-tenured, federal judge in Brooklyn; edited the Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal, a nationally-recognized intellectual property journal; and served as an officer for two student-led organizations (Public Interest Law Student Association and the Black Law Students Association).

I then worked with two prestigious, national law firms representing individuals and companies and gaining experience in a range of matters. Now, I represent intellectual creatives at my firm, Culhane Meadows, who explore the intersection of technology and traditional entertainment. I have seen the power of artists and entrepreneurs to change the world, and I seek to continue to represent intellectual creatives' interests while developing their business aspirations.

I take my passion into the community by participating as a member in the Copyright Society of the United States of America (CSUSA), Philadelphia Chapter and the Black Entertainment and Sports Law Association (BESLA). I also have volunteered for the Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and participated in the Arts & Business Council of Philadelphia's Business on Board program, a six-month boot camp-style course on the ins and outs of non-profit governance.
