Counsel for the culture.
The firm
We work with individuals, entrepreneurs and small to medium businesses to navigate the legal and business complexity of their industries.
Ollawa Law Offices guarantees an efficient and personable legal experience, with attorneys who bring specialised knowledge across entertainment, intellectual property, business and estate law — and who passionately aid parents and guardians navigating special education due process claims.
What we practise.
Entertainment
Deals for artists, producers, writers, directors and the companies that back them — negotiated and drafted, not downloaded.
02Intellectual Property
File it, own it, keep it. Copyright and trademark strategy, registration, licensing and enforcement.
03Business Law
Entity formation and the agreements that hold a company together, from first filing to the paperwork nobody wants to read.
04Estate Planning
Trusts, wills and directives — so the people you leave behind inherit a plan instead of a court date.
05Special Education Due Process
OAH due process claims for parents and guardians when a school district has failed a student with disabilities.
The attorney
Nine years of deals, filings and enforcement — on the artist’s side of the table.
Obi Ollawa represents artists, musicians, writers, producers and directors across the entertainment business, and has negotiated work for SXSW, ComplexCon, Boiler Room, MTV’s Wonderland, VFiles, Adidas brand events and more.
Clients
What the people we represent say about the work.
I highly recommend attorney Obi for his exceptional legal services. As a DJ and music producer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Obi on several occasions and have always been impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to his clients. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients’ best interests are protected.
Ashton McCreightDJ & Music Producer
Working with Ollawa Law has been relieving. I didn’t have any business structure or business protection. Ever since I’ve been working with them, I’ve gained both strongly. I would encourage anyone looking for entertainment lawyers to deal with this firm.

Obi is an exceptional lawyer and source of legal support. He puts in so much time and effort into helping his clients reach the most optimal outcome. Besides the desire to maximise your legal success, he also cares about your growth within the industry.
Anthonia Raphael-ChiekeFilm / TV Producer
Crystal was a pleasure to work with as she guided me on my current contracts by educating me on legal verbiage. She had my best interest at heart through many phone conversations, Zoom sessions, and email correspondences. I highly recommend her and Obi to artists.
Priyadarshini RoyActress & Producer
Three pillars the firm stands on.
Trustworthy
We tell you what the document actually does, including the parts that are not in your favour. Trust is the only asset a firm this size really has.
A Commitment to Excellence
Timely, diligent work on every matter — the two-day turnaround and the ten-day one get the same attention.
Simplicity
Plain language over legalese. If you cannot explain your own agreement, it is not protecting you.
These have earned our clients’ trust, built the firm’s reputation on good soil, and attracted quality individuals and businesses — all of which help us navigate any legal obstacle with timely, diligent service.
