Nutter Represents REAL Software Systems in Its Acquisition by Rightsline
Print PDFNutter served as legal counsel to REAL Software Systems in connection with its acquisition by Rightsline, the leading rights and finance management platform for the media and entertainment industry. The legal team was led by Michael Kushnir in the Corporate and Transactions Department and included Portia Keady and Mary Moran on corporate matters; Michael Mooney on tax matters; Tracy Vitols on employment and benefit matters; Pat Concannon on IP matters; and Seth Berman on privacy matters.
Since its founding in 1993, REAL Software Systems has grown to become a leading provider of IP Commerce software globally, with its Alliant platform managing more than $12 billion in royalties annually across multiple industries. Today, its flagship platform—Alliant—automates the contractual rights, royalties accounting, revenue sharing, and profit sharing of more than 70 notable companies with a wide range of underlying IP.
The integration of Rightsline’s and REAL’s systems will provide expanded capabilities for their existing customers, including BBC Studios, AMC, and the Public Broadcasting Service. Seamless data exchange and complementary feature build-outs will provide operational efficiencies to teams already using both Rightsline and Alliant, allowing them to replace time-consuming multi-system workflows with higher value strategic activities.
