This contract will likely lock him in for the next decade or so he should go with the best he can afford. A bad deal can end a career (financially) before it even gets started and all of them trap artists.

He should go with attorneys who work the genre, James McMillan is a good place to start.

interesting, I’ll share this with him, thank you!

I’m in the litigation department of an entertainment law firm. I’m happy to refer you to our transactional folks, I don’t think we have a set rate, it depends on the kind of agreement. Let me know!

I’m in the entertainment transactions group at my firm (based on CA). We have music attorneys that are experienced with these types of agreements. DM me if interested!

I’m a transactional music attorney - it’s all our firm does - just for reference, if it’s a major label the fee is usually 5% of the in pocket advance to the artist and we negotiate that into the deal as an additional advance paid by the label, so the artist doesn’t come out of pocket. If it’s not a major label deal with a large advance, you might be charged hourly or sometimes a flat fee. Either way I definitely suggest finding a music (that actually practices music law) attorney that’s in their price range look at it.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at my firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
