Consulting
The world of music is ever growing and evolving, and we’re not just talking about sound trends. With the consistent introduction of varying revenue streams and distribution channels, the opportunity for profit grows for songwriters but a veritable minefield of issues arise when it comes to licensing— gaining access to that music. We take pride in clearly explaining and navigating the often foggy landscape of performing rights and licensing. We help our clients negotiate licensing agreements that are fair and reasonable.
Group Presentations
Access to permission to engage in the lawful public performance of music in any business context can be confusing and costly. We present a clear road map into the complex world of music licensing with regularly scheduled (USA) presentations to local hospitality industry groups and chambers of commerce. Each presentation can be tailored to the individual needs of your members with the completion of a short questionnaire and survey.

Copyright Certifications
If you are preparing litigation and need the laser-focused eye of a trained professional to identify the current rights holders, we can search the databases at the Copyright Office at the Library of Congress and obtain correct and reliable certification of any copyrighted musical work.
Legal referrals
Demystifying performing rights licensing is our core mission. But if the legal horse is “out of the barn” for you and you need professional representation, we are happy to refer you to our skilled intellectual property law attorneys. Remember, copyright infringement cases are heard in federal court so the same lawyer you use for state business filings may not be equipped to practice before a federal judge. Our lawyers are more than prepared to guide you through litigation.
Playlists
In a world of fractional licensing, wouldn’t it be great to have access to a list of 100% ASCAP, or 100% BMI songs so you only need to license with them? We can help.
