Music Law 101: How to Protect your Rights, Increase your Profits, and Promote with Confidence with Somara Jacques, Esq.
Do you hide under the bushes when someone mentions the word “lawyers”?
The music and entertainment business has always been a treacherous place for artists who don’t know the legal side of being a creative. Many of us are frightened by the terminology and confused by the legalities, not to mention the financial cost of legal assistance.
That’s why we talked to an attorney with a heart for artists, to help us get over the fear of legally protecting and profiting from your creativity. .
Somara Jacques, "The Latte Lawyer" is the founder of a legal firm for Visual & Recording Artists, Content Creators, and Startups. Having practiced law since 2011, she now helps artists and creatives to make the most of their talents by properly protecting and monetizing their creative and intellectual property.
