Frequently Asked Questions

What if I already signed a contract — can you still help me?

  • Yes! If you’ve already signed a contract, we can review it to identify potential issues, negotiate better terms, or help you navigate any disputes that arise. The sooner you seek legal advice, the better your chances of protecting your rights.

I’m just starting out — do I need legal help even if I don’t have a contract yet?

  • Absolutely. Many artists and producers make costly mistakes early in their careers by agreeing to verbal deals or signing agreements they don’t fully understand. We can help you set up fair agreements, protect your intellectual property and avoid industry pitfalls from the start.

Do you only work with major artists and labels, or do you help independent musicians too?

  • We work with artists at all levels — from independent musicians to major record labels and investors. Whether you’re signing your first contract or managing an established career, our legal support ensures you’re making informed decisions.

How much do your services cost?

  • Costs vary based on the complexity of your case and the type of legal support needed. However, we offer a free consultation to discuss your situation and provide transparent pricing before we start working together. We also offer both fixed fee, retainer and contingency services in different scenarios.

I’m an investor looking to buy a music catalog — how do I ensure I’m making a safe investment?

  • Music catalog purchases involve hidden risks, unclear ownership rights and licensing complexities. We conduct due diligence, verify all rights, negotiate fair terms and ensure compliance with copyright laws so your investment is secure.

Can you help me collect unpaid royalties?

  • Yes! If you're not receiving the royalties you're owed from streaming platforms, labels, or publishers, we can help you investigate the issue, enforce your rights and recover lost earnings.

I have a dispute with my manager/label — what should I do?

  • Disputes in the music industry can be complex, but we can help you understand your rights, negotiate a resolution, or take legal action if necessary. Before making any decisions, it’s best to speak with a lawyer to assess your options.

How do I know if my music is properly copyrighted?

  • Copyright protection is automatic upon creation, but registration strengthens your legal standing. If you're unsure whether your music is properly protected, we can review your catalog, register your works and advise you on licensing strategies to prevent unauthorized use.

What if I need legal help in multiple countries?

  • We handle international music law and work with clients worldwide. Whether you’re signing deals abroad, managing global royalties, or handling cross-border disputes, we ensure your legal protection extends beyond the U.S.
