Our Lawyers & Staff

Our Team

The team of Shrum Disney & Associates consists of creators and musicians at heart.  Like most brothers in the 70’s, Mr. Shrum and his brothers formed a band in which Mr. Shrum was the drummer.  Mr. Disney has been in the music and entertainment industries for decades working as a personal manager before graduating from law school.  These professionals have dedicated their careers to defending creators and songwriters and helping them license, monetize, and exploit their intellectual creations.
