Recording Contracts

We review and negotiate recording contracts for Brooklyn artists and labels. Our attorneys analyze advance structures, royalty rates, recoupment provisions, album commitment obligations, ownership of masters, and termination rights to ensure the deal terms are fair and your rights are protected throughout the relationship.

Music Publishing Agreements

Songwriters and composers in Brooklyn need publishing agreements that fairly compensate them for their creative work. We handle co-publishing deals, administration agreements, and single-song assignments, focusing on royalty splits, reversion rights, and the scope of the publisher's exploitation rights.

Licensing and Sync Deals

We negotiate licensing agreements for Brooklyn musicians and rights holders, including sync licenses for film, television, advertising, and digital media. Our attorneys ensure you receive fair compensation and maintain appropriate control over how your music is used in commercial contexts.

Producer Agreements

Music producers in Brooklyn need contracts that define their compensation, credit, ownership rights, and backend participation. We draft and negotiate producer agreements that address points, advances, master ownership, and the producer's right to future royalties on tracks they create.

Management and Booking Contracts

We review management agreements and booking contracts for Brooklyn artists to ensure commission rates, term lengths, sunset provisions, and scope of authority are reasonable and protect the artist's interests. Management contracts in particular require careful attention to duration, exclusivity, and post-term compensation.

Music Industry Considerations for Brooklyn Artists

Brooklyn's music scene spans independent hip-hop, electronic, indie rock, jazz, and experimental genres. The borough's recording studios, rehearsal spaces, and live venues create a vibrant ecosystem that requires legal infrastructure. Artists recording at studios in Williamsburg or Greenpoint, labels distributing from DUMBO offices, and producers working from home studios in Bed-Stuy all benefit from music law counsel.
