What We Do

You shouldn't have to go to law school to understand your contracts. That's what we're here for.

We handle the legal infrastructure so you can focus on the work.

Contracts are the foundation of every creative business relationship — and the place where most problems start. Whether you need a contract drafted from scratch, an existing agreement reviewed before you sign, or experienced representation during negotiation, we handle it.

We review and negotiate across the full spectrum of music industry and creator economy agreements, from recording contracts to influencer brand deals.

Music Deals

Recording Agreements Publishing Deals Co-Publishing Agreements Distribution Deals Management Agreements Booking Agreements Producer Agreements Co-Writing Agreements Collaboration Agreements Sync Licenses

Creator & Brand Deals

Brand Partnership Agreements Sponsorship Agreements Influencer Agreements Ambassador Agreements Content Licensing Platform Agreements Affiliate Agreements

What this looks like in practice

  • Reviewing a record deal before you sign and flagging the clauses that matter most
  • Drafting a collaboration agreement for a joint project
  • Negotiating a brand partnership for a creator with a growing platform
  • Reviewing a management contract and advising on exit rights and commission structures

Entity formation, governance documents, and foundational agreements that set your business up to grow. The legal infrastructure underneath your creative work matters more than most people realize — and it's much easier to get right at the beginning than to fix later.

We help you choose the right business structure, draft governing documents, and set up the agreements your business needs to operate clearly and protect your interests.

Your brand, your music, and your creative output are your most valuable assets. We help you register, protect, and strategically manage your intellectual property so you're building on a foundation that you actually own.

We handle copyright and trademark registration, catalog management, and long-term IP strategy — the work that quietly compounds over a career.

  • Copyright registration for musical works and sound recordings
  • Trademark registration for artist names, brands, and logos
  • Catalog audits and rights clearance
  • Licensing strategies for your existing IP
  • Brand identity protection across platforms

If you have a website, a newsletter, or a digital presence, you need legal documents that actually say what you mean — and actually protect you. Generic templates pulled from the internet often don't cut it.

We draft customized terms of service, privacy policies, disclaimers, and consent language — and we audit your existing documents to identify gaps.

  • Terms of service (website, app, platform)
  • Privacy policies (CCPA, GDPR-aware)
  • Attorney advertising disclaimers
  • Influencer disclosure policies
  • FTC compliance review for sponsored content
  • Legal document audits

If your business uses music — in videos, at events, in your retail space, in an app — you need proper licensing. Unlicensed use carries real risk, and the licensing landscape is more complex than it appears.

We help businesses identify what licenses they need, obtain them from the right sources, and negotiate terms when custom licensing is appropriate.

  • Sync licensing for video and film content
  • Background music licensing for commercial spaces
  • Master and sync clearances for ads and campaigns
  • Custom license negotiation with publishers and rights holders
  • Music use audits and compliance review

When someone uses your work without permission, speed and precision matter. We handle enforcement actions across platforms and help you understand your options before taking action.

  • DMCA takedown notices
  • Cease and desist letters
  • Platform-specific removal requests (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Spotify)
  • Infringement analysis and strategy
  • Licensing disputes and negotiated resolutions

Not every legal issue needs to become litigation. Pre-dispute strategy — understanding your position, your rights, and your options before things escalate — is often the most valuable and least-used legal tool available to creators and musicians.

  • Pre-litigation strategy and risk assessment
  • Dispute prevention and early resolution guidance
  • Contract review after a dispute arises
  • Advisory support during difficult business transitions
