I'm a music lawyer based in New Zealand. I work with people involved in all aspects of the music industry from musicians and bands to managers, record labels and producers and everyone in between. I have a particular focus on emerging artists and through the 'Leg Up Scheme' which my firm runs we can even provide some 'pro-bono' (a flash legal term meaning 'free') advice in certain situations. If you want to find out more about me and the kind of work my firm McLaughlin Law does, please check out our website www.mclaughlinlaw.co.nz
Some of the clients we have worked with include Hollie Smith, Adeaze, Nesian Mystik, 4 Corners, Pluto, Cut Off Your Hands, The Rabble, Parachute Music. I also write a regular column for New Zealand Musician Magazine on relevant legal issues for bands and musicians.
I've always had a love for music and my particular interest in music law came from my own experiences as a musician with the band Vauxhall (www.myspace.com/vauxhallnz)
