I am an experienced entertainment attorney, licensed in New York and New Jersey. I feel that it’s important to keep my rates low so that emerging artists can afford good advice. The biggest mistake that any artist can do is to sign anything before they have it reviewed by an attorney!
I worked my way through college and law school by bartending at The Fastlane, The Stone Pony, and The Saint; the main live music venues in Asbury Park, New Jersey. While working at these clubs I grew to truly appreciate the hard work and dedication of the many talented artists that I had the pleasure of seeing. It was during that time that I knew I always wanted to be involved in music, and especially to help out developing artists.
I have full knowledge of music related issues including recording agreements, performance and tour agreements, all types of music licensing, management agreements, production agreements, and copyright. In addition to music, I have experience in other entertainment areas and can handle all agreements dealing with film, television, theatre and book publishing. I can also help with business formation and partnership agreements.
If you are an artist looking for representation, feel free to contact me!
Please note that I respond a lot faster to emails than I do to myspace messages!
