Get Informed About The Legal Side of The Music Industry
The first of I Like Music's Music Law Column's by Elliot Chalmers
My name is Elliot Chalmers. I am a qualified legal advisor with a passion for music. I deal with record deals; management contracts letters of agreement, indie deals and small publishing agreements in the Brighton and London area. I'm honest, care about music and won't rip you off.
Having spent two years at Law School I had always known that music law would interest me most. This isn't because it's easy and leads to meeting famous musicians although that is good ! I enjoy explaining and translating the law to musicians who often care little about such things. I always emphasise though that at any level of performing and writing music, it is essential to have knowledge of the law. No longer can you get a gig without some form of document involved, even a "gentlemen's handshake" can have repercussions. The minute a song is written it is important to be aware of the rights that are created and the protection the writer has from anyone else (band member, manager etc…)
