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. Many musicians focus on creating. They don’t realize 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 meshes with the artist’s creative vision.

As a conservatory-trained multi-instrumentalist who has performed with classical, jazz, and pop groups who also has more than 20 years of experience representing businesses and has completed graduate coursework in music business at the renowned Berklee School of Music, Elizabeth Whitman is uniquely positioned to provide musicians with the customized legal representation and business guidance they need without sacrificing the creative process.

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