Performers need to protect both their short-term interests and long-term
career goals through sound planning and consideration of basic business, contract, and intellectual property principles involving
partnerships, corporations, LLCs, royalties, copyrights, and trademarks. Aspiring artists need to be careful when signing
contracts. Initial artist contracts are typically one-sided and unfair - locking up-and-coming artists into exclusive
contracts that can last for decades, as well as create a situation where these individuals or groups are exploited and taken
advantage of for their entire careers.
We provide comprehensive
legal services that include assistance with copyright enforcement and licensing, content development, distribution and publishing
agreements, advertising and promotional issues, and if necessary, litigation before state and federal
courts and administrative agencies. We are located
in Encino, and Beverly Hills California, conveniently close to the entertainment communities
of Los Angeles County.
Attorney Alan
Abergel is an avid music fan, acoustic and electric guitar player, drummer, and a home studio owner, and so has a great appreciation
for musicians. In addition to having a law degree, Mr. Abergel
is also a graduate of Towson University, Maryland’s mass communications program, in which Mr. Abergel
took many audio and production techniques courses. We generally do not shop demos on contingency. Mr. Abergel is a fan
of bands such as The Smiths, Soundgarden, The Pixies, and Yes and guitar players such as, Johnny Marr, Kim Thayil, and Steve Howe. So, if you are as good a musician as the musicians mentioned above, (not necessarily in the same genre) we may consider shopping your demo on contingency.
