We also assist musical groups in the selection and formation of an appropriate business entity – whether a partnership, LLC, or corporation – and represent artists and managers in the negotiation of management agreements.

We also counsel artists and talent agents in the negotiation and entry into talent agency agreements.

We represent artists and managers in the negotiation of recording and publishing agreements and work with artists, managers, and venues in the negotiation of live performance agreements and sponsorship, merchandising, and distribution agreements, including streaming and digital download.
