Music & Brands
The firm has expertise in the whole spectrum of music and brand industries and advises its clients not only on distinct music and brand issues but also on matters increasingly common to both industries.
For many years our music team has represented artists, record labels, music publishers, managers, venues and many other clients across the traditional and digital music sector. We have also represented brand owners and advise "brand" clients on how best to exploit and protect their intellectual property in the changing marketplace, from both legal and commercial viewpoints.
As new business models develop alongside new technologies, and as the muisc and brands industries increasingly collaborate in mutual revenue generating ventures, we provide our clients with advice on, amongst other things, sponsorship, endorsement and merchandising, new media, rights issues and investment in artists.
With knowledge, expertise and contacts across both sectors, we are ideally suited to advise clients on how to structure and put in place deals between "brand companies", recording artists and record labels, songwriters and music publishers looking to exploit the opportunities presented by the fast-changing music industry.
