About Shaunté Preer

Shaunté is an experienced and competent trial attorney that focuses on advising and advocating for clients with complex civil and commercial litigation matters. Her civil and commercial litigation experience runs the gamut from everyday legal problems such as torts, consumer and landlord-tenant issues to more complex matters such as breach of contract, fraud, and negligence.

Her transactional practice focuses on entrepreneurs, start-ups and small business owners in the entertainment, sports and cannabis industries. She is experienced in all aspects of entertainment law such as representing clients in deals with major record labels, music distributors and publishers; terminating unfair record deals and management contracts; recouping royalties owed to artists and obtaining copyright reversions to the original owner; and negotiating talent agreements for reality tv appearances, major motion picture roles and sponsorship deals. Shaunté advocates for creators to receive just compensation for their talent and creative works, in addition to teaching creators how to protect, monetize and manage their intellectual property.

She has volunteered internationally as a human rights organizer and attorney with El Movimiento de Mujeres Dominico-Hatiana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, providing legal assistance to Dominicans of Haitian descent, who were effectively rendered stateless by Dominican constitutional amendments and helped prepare cases for brief to the International Court of Justice. While working on the Navajo Reservation with the Navajo Nation DNA People’s Legal Services Association, she researched and drafted memoranda on indigenous property issues related to posthumous property title and non-indigenous land encroachment into the Navajo Nation.
