Miami Music and Recording Artist Lawyers

Representing Music, Radio, and Live Performance Clients in Florida • New York • Los Angeles • Atlanta • Nashville • Europe • Canada • Latin America • the Caribbean

Success in the famously competitive music industry takes talent, luck, connections, and hard work. Miami music and recording artist attorney Barry Chase focuses on those factors for clients seeking to "make it big."

Clients of the ChaseLawyers firm have the advantage of years of experience in entertainment law and the music business. Based in Miami, Florida, the firm caters to English and Spanish-language local, national, and international recording artists, bands, record labels, managers, producers, composers, music executives, and others in the music industry.

Artist Recording Agreements

ChaseLawyers℠ principal attorney Barry Chase represents singers, songwriters, and musicians who have attracted interest from record labels or music publishers. He regularly drafts and negotiates terms of artist recording agreements. ChaseLawyers℠ protects the economic interests of our clients and their intellectual property rights, while advancing their business interests and careers.

Recently, old-style "Exclusive Recording Agreements" have given way to what are called "360° Deals." These new contracts seek to make the record label and the artist "Partners" in the artist's non-recording activities. Our law firm has already had substantial experience in drafting and negotiating such agreements for both labels and soon-to-be-signed artists. No matter which side of the negotiation you are on, it is in your interest to have a lawyer who is familiar with these latest agreements.

ChaseLawyers℠ works with many Spanish-speaking artists, and is an important legal presence in Spanish-language musical entertainment in Miami, Florida, nationwide, and Latin America.

Assisting the Independent Record Label

From aspiring rap/hip-hop moguls to Latino, rock or country music indie labels, ChaseLawyers℠ represents start-up record companies, as well as those that already have a track record of success. We assist entrepreneurs in taking advantage of copyright law, drafting contracts, and finding new talent. Because of our connections in the music industry, we have access to a wide variety of demos, and we help record labels sign artists to recording deals. We also advise on incorporation, employment agreements, partnership agreements, and related business law arrangements.

In negotiating a deal, ChaseLawyers℠ has developed a knack for sensing how badly the artist "needs" the label deal, and vice versa. We know just how hard to push to negotiate the most beneficial contract for the client. We also represent music publishing companies, concert promoters, personal managers, business managers, talent agencies, and music industry executives with a full range of legal services.
