About

Counsel Rooted in Industry Experience

Wauls Law was founded by Samantha Wauls, an intellectual property and entertainment law practitioner whose career spans some of the most influential institutions in media and content creation. Her practice is built on a foundation of real-world industry experience — not just legal theory.

Samantha has worked with NBCUniversal and the Motion Picture Association, giving her a deep understanding of how major studios and entertainment companies navigate complex IP landscapes. She has also provided legal counsel to tribal nations, entities, and organizations, bringing a nuanced understanding of sovereignty, cultural property, and federal Indian law to her practice.

At Wauls Law, clients receive attentive, sophisticated counsel tailored to the creative and entertainment industries — with the strategic perspective of someone who has been on both sides of the table.
