Episode Notes

Gregory Reed is an engineer that’s spent decades in the practice of Entertainment Law. Reed’s patience and understanding for systems led to his work into Entertainment Law. In the 1970’s relationships with fellow Michigan State Spartans (like Bubba Smith and more) created the opportunity to represent athletes. He soon wrote a book that has been cited and used as the standard for negotiating all athlete contracts. Today Attorney Reed is most known for his career in protecting the likeness and image of celebrities. His work with the honorable Rosa Parks is internationally recognized. He was also the exclusive Attorney for many Black theater companies, Kronk Boxing (RIP Emmanuel Stewart), Anita Baker, and many more acts.
