Legal Services:
A music lawyer should be one of the first business associates you add to your team. A good music lawyer will have contacts with managers, publishers, song pluggers, record company artist and repertoire (A&R) people, and the artists themselves.
We offer personalized legal services for individual artists, bands, and music-related entities.
