Elliot Chalmers - Music Law Advice"Combining legal knowledge with music industry experience allows for a service that attaches great importance to assessing an individual situation." "Not being affiliated to a law firm means that our service is not restricted by hourly rates or retainers. This allows for more than just legal advice but expert knowledge and awareness of the music industry." Since it's formation in 2002 I.M.L.A. has worked with numerous independent music companies and artists advising them on a variety of music law related issues. |
What Advice Do We Give To Artists?
It is so important in this current climate to prevent Music Companies and other industry figures from exploiting new and current artists. Our main aim is to guide and advise you through early deals that might come your way and that could determine your future.
There is no doubt that understanding your legal position will go a long way to helping you get the most out of a deal that you might be offered. When being advised on a deal (by us) you will be given a full clause by clause contract analysis giving you a much clearer picture of why a music company needs to attain certain rights from you. This will allow you to be fully aware of your rights throughout the contract period.
We can advise and draft band agreements and deals for management, recording, publishing and distribution companies. We can also help you with any promotional, merchandising, publishing contracts as well as utilising our strong contacts in the music industry.
