To Our Maddrey PLLC Friends, Clients, and Supporters:

I write today with bittersweet, but exciting, news. After more than five years of supporting and assisting the creative and entrepreneurial communities in a legal capacity, I have decided to wind down my firm Maddrey PLLC. I have been so very proud of the ability to work not only with our exceptional clients but also with my incredibly talented attorneys and staff who helped me build this firm over the years.

I have been asked what comes next, and I am honored and proud to announce that the spirit of Maddrey PLLC and the focus on supporting creators will continue through my new platforms. Today, March 10, 2021, I am happy to announce that I have accepted a position with the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) as their full-time General Counsel and Head of National Content and Education.

In my role at ASMP, I will be working on programs and platforms that can assist all visual creators in enhancing their business, legal, technical, and creative skills. I want to thank all the ASMP members who we have worked with as clients in the past, and invite all of my clients to be part of what we are building at ASMP. I would love to see you there.

Additionally, I will be continuing to assist businesses and individuals with their copyright and business development needs through my firm Maddrey Creative Consulting. To stay informed, visit www.MaddreyCreative.com and signup for our mailing list.

Finally, let me reiterate my deep gratitude for you, our clients, and friends, and let you know that any support we have given you has been paid back ten-fold through the works you create and your passion and dedication. The goal of my career at each step has been to support and promote creators and creative and arts-based organizations, and I am proud to say that is what we have done. I look forward to seeing you all very soon!
