About

A rare mix of creative experience and legal-business training.

Braden Paes has spent his career moving between performance, production, and the business of creative work. His background includes acting, writing, producing, company-building, and graduate legal study focused on entertainment, arts, and sports.

That combination gives him a practical understanding of both sides of the table: what talent needs to protect, what producers need to build, and how rights, reputation, and relationships shape a long-term career.
