Choosing a Lawyer in the Music Business
When it comes to selecting a lawyer, consider the following steps:
Word of Mouth
-
Reach Out to Peers:
- Speak to other artists.
- Connect with people you know in the music business.
-
Ask Critical Questions:
- Who do you use as lawyers?
- Would you recommend them?
- Are there any lawyers you wouldn't recommend?
Building a Strong Relationship
- It's crucial to have a strong relationship with your lawyer and your entire professional team.
- Ensure you have someone you can trust or at least someone with a reliable background.
Additional Resources
- There are legal directories you can consult:
- Legal 500
- Chambers and Partners (UK)
These directories list lawyers and their areas of specialization, and while they may not be the most exciting reads, they provide valuable information.
- Visit the Law Society website to verify credentials.
Verify Credentials
- If someone comes highly recommended, check:
- Their credentials in the directories.
- Ensure they have a practicing certificate and any other necessary qualifications.
Next Steps
Once you've gathered all the information:
- Get in touch with potential lawyers.
- Try to arrange a face-to-face meeting to assess compatibility.

Imogen Heap is a Grammy-winning English singer, songwriter, producer and technologist whose influence runs through two decades of pop, electronic and film music — and through much of the technology modern artists now take for granted.
Born in London in 1977 and classically trained on piano, cello and clarinet, she released her debut album 'iMegaphone' in 1998 before forming the duo Frou Frou with producer Guy Sigsworth, whose song 'Let Go' reached a global audience through the film Garden State. Her self-written, self-produced album 'Speak for Yourself' (2005) delivered 'Hide and Seek', the a cappella landmark that later powered Jason Derulo's chart-topping 'Whatcha Say' and Ariana Grande's 'Goodnight n Go', and continues to find new generations of listeners.
'Ellipse' (2009) won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical — recorded and engineered in her own home studio — and she went on to co-write and produce 'Clean' on Taylor Swift's Album of the Year-winning '1989'. She also composed the score for the stage play 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'.
A relentless innovator, Heap developed the MI.MU gestural gloves — recognised with three honorary doctorates — and founded Mycelia and The Creative Passport, initiatives building a fairer data ecosystem for artists. In 2024 she returned with 'What Have You Done to Me?', created with her AI vocal alter ego Mogen, while a viral resurgence of 'Headlock' brought her music to millions of new fans.
