Still learning the music business but have been in it for past few years. Built great relationships with a lot of artists at labels - i don’t have a law degree but would it be possible to partner with an attorney and source deals for them in exchange for a commission?

What do you mean? Can you clarify on what you mean by the commission split? What kind of deal Representation?

It sounds like what your describing is being an agent - in California and New York for sure you would want to get a talent agency license - it’s very simple and cheap - agents in the music business commission anywhere from 10-20% of the value of the deal - if your saying commission legal fees from the lawyer no you can’t do that, but you can bring in deals for the artist and commission those deals - otherwise if you are acting as a manager you could similarly commission the artists earnings - check out Don Passman’s book to learn more about those types of arrangements

I’ve been practicing for 6 years in-house at a media company (was a startup when I joined and is now more established), straight out of law school. Due to the small nature of our team (3 legal members), I have been involved in all areas of our business and even advise c-suite frequently about legal risks. I received a promotion, with another title bump on the horizon this year. I have an opportunity to go to a start-up media company as the sole attorney. Anyone else have experience doing this?
