Guest Advice for Musicians

• Consulting with Your Team:

  • If you have a manager, speak to them.
  • If you have a lawyer (or even if you don't), find recommendations through your manager or friends.

• Recommendations:

  • Aim for three names.
  • It's essential never to go see just one lawyer , that's always a mistake.

• Choosing the Right Lawyer:

  • Meet with two or three lawyers to evaluate:
    • Their different approaches
    • Their unique characteristics
  • Remember, we all have different personalities; some may resonate with you while others may not.

• Finding Empathy:

  • Choose someone you have a degree of empathy with.
  • Be sure to ask:
    • "What are you going to do for me?"
    • "What do I need to do to make your life easier and my bills cheaper?"
