Music Law

A successful music careeer requires not only creativity and strong musicianship skills but also strategic business planning and navigation through a complex web of legal rights and requirements. What many musicians don’t recognize the importance of a strong band agreement or know that music business financing requires careful navigation to comply with a maze of securities laws. Whitman Legal Solutions understands that the music business requires sound business planning, including entity formation, contract negotiation, and copyright law, and customized legal advice that mesh with the artist’s vision.

As a conservatory-trained multi-instrumentalist with more than 25 years of experience representing businesses and graduate coursework in music business at the renowned Berklee School of Music, Elizabeth Whitman is uniquely positioned to provide musicians with this much needed legal representation and business guidance without sacrificing the creative process.

By hiring an attorney who understands both musicians and business and securities law, musicians can put their focus where it belongs — on creating music.
