Top music attorneys wrangle a career-making music producer deal.
Most people think they can just hand a negotiation to a lawyer, and leave it at that. But as a professional, you need to understand the process and deal points, too, and what the short- and long-term implications to your artists’ careers may be.
In this session, top experts Kendal A. Minter, Esq. and Evita G. Kaigler, Esq. discuss 6 key areas of a music producer agreement. They will give you the inside track on major deal points, what they mean and what leverage you have to negotiate the best possible deal.
Most importantly, you will see HOW a producer deal is negotiated and see the process.
Get educated about the art of deal making and the right time to make a deal!
