\u201cIn the legal field, the consensus isn\u2019t that law firms will be replaced by AI, but law firms that don\u2019t adopt AI will be replaced by ones that do.\u201d <\/p>\n

About<\/h2>\n

Scott J. Sholder (@scottsholder<\/a>), Co-Chair of the Cowan DeBaets Abrahams & Sheppard LLP\u2019s Litigation group, focuses his practice on litigation, counseling, and dispute resolution in connection with entertainment, media, and intellectual property matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scott represents and advises clients across various industries in copyright, trademark, right-of-publicity, unfair competition, domain name, and commercial and business disputes, as well as defamation defense.\u00a0 He has appeared in federal and state courts around the country as well as administrative and arbitral tribunals and has handled cases from pre-suit negotiations through trial and post-trial procedures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His clients range from major media and entertainment companies and A-list talent to closely held and startup businesses and individuals in need of advice on intellectual property or guidance concerning brewing or existing legal conflicts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sholder\u2019s understanding of the intersection of technology, law, and creativity is also reflected in his personal work as an artist, operating under the web3 name Metalhead. His art primarily involves photo manipulation, using applications like Procreate and Glitch Studio to transform everyday images into abstract, psychedelic pieces. Much of his work is influenced by music, particularly metal, which inspires his decisions about colors and specific additions to his pieces.<\/p>\n

Sholder\u2019s belief in the importance of consistent practice, self-belief, and the value of creative expression, regardless of public reception, is a testament to his passion for art. His experiences, as both an attorney and artist, provide a unique perspective on the implications of technology in the creative world.<\/p>\n
