Sharing Artistik License's journey and values

Hey I'm Manojna and welcome to Artistik License

Meet Artistik License, lovingly known as AL, born as a humble blog in 2013 with a simple mission: to make legal wisdom easily accessible for artists.

The very first post was met with open arms and enthusiasm from the creative community, and your enduring support guides the work I do today.

​

Founded by me, Manojna Yeluri – an entertainment, intellectual property rights law, and artist rights lawyer – Artistik License offers legal counsel to creative professionals, empowering them to make informed choices about their artistic endeavours and careers.
 

AL is more than a consultancy; it's a labour of love and a realization of a dream to reshape the creative ecosystem in India and beyond, one contract at a time.

​

AL is committed to unraveling the complexities of entertainment law, music law, art law, creative entrepreneurship, performers' rights, creative resilience and artist contracts. If you're an artist or creative professional seeking business clarity, legal support and industry perspective, know that AL is here for you every step of the way.

The iconic logo for Artistik License was originally created by designer and ceramic artist, Sabrina Srinivas.
