MindYourLight

WELCOME! Mind Your Light Entertainment (MYLE) is a legal services company focused on providing counsel to those in the entertainment industry. In the latter part of 2005, after having previously worked as in-house counsel at major record labels for over 5 years, I decided to go "artist side". In a matter of months, I found myself working with clients outside of the music industry. While obtaining clients around the world, I have been able to expand the business by creating a "consortium" of attorneys around the world. With a global clientele, it became increasingly important to establish contacts in different cities to help build contacts with venues, other artists, producers, etc. MYLE has partnered with attorneys in Europe, Canada, Japan and South America. MYLE's current client list includes recording artists, screenwriters, TV/film/music producers, actors, stand-up comedians, music/film/tv production companies as well as indie labels. MYLE provides transactional services, drafting and negotiating all entertainment-related agreements as well as providing "project management" services (short & long term). I've always wanted to work with people that I believe in. It's not about having "clients", but being a teammate on YOUR team. I'm looking to work with artists (if you create SOMETHING, in my eyes you're an "artist") who are SERIOUS about their goals - who have passion about their craft and their direction as well as a work ethic that can only be rivaled by my own. If you have the ability to think outside the box and are willing to work hard just to be seen or heard, then let's talk. Maybe I can help. If your goals are solely about obtaining the fancy car or the hottest bling, then please move on. If you're a recording artist, know that I am truly interested in the music; I've been a front-row spectator to the games of the big bad labels - now I'm armed to help. No matter what stage of the game you're at, it's most important for YOU, the artist, to realize that not all artists and lawyers and/or managers are meant to work together - make sure you "fit" with your team. If someone is trying to talk YOU into something that your gut is telling YOU doesn't feel right - don't walk away...RUN AWAY! Building a good team is key, no matter what your role is in the entertainment industry. Know who is supposed to be doing what - take the time to educate yourself. And please: don't hand over the reins to your life, your craft, your BUSINESS to anyone. And lastly... never let anyone sign your checks but YOU (if Oprah can live by that credo, so can the rest of us.)As I don't have the opportunity to check this page on a regular basis (daily maintainence is handled by my assistant or intern), ALL SERIOUS INQUIRIES/E-MAILS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO: [email protected] I will respond to all inquiries.Thank you for stopping by and reaching out.
