Music Law: Why Labels Need To Know Their Stuff

We can closely study any contracts prior to signing and provide an expert eye that will spot any clauses that might cause issues down the line. Our extensive experience drafting and advising on the types of contracts involved in music law can be invaluable to both labels and artists.

The team at MN2S label services are happy to negotiate on your behalf, ensuring that you end up signing contracts that contain the most favourable terms possible, leading to profitable results that benefit both parties involved and forge productive relationships.

We provide advice that’s based on our in-depth understanding of best practice within music law. Our recommendations are grounded in knowledge drawn from decades of experience working on deals, contracts, negotiations and legal issues that are unique to the music industry.

Copyright is one of the most commonly contested legal issues in the music industry. There are a complex set of music industry laws and regulations surrounding copyright in music law, and issues involving copyright often end up arriving in court to be settled by a judge, as the lines between influence and plagiarism become increasingly blurred.

Music publishers are responsible for ensuring that composers and songwriters receive compensation when their compositions are used for commercial purposes. Publishing contracts assign the copyright of a given composition to a publishing company, who then licenses the work and collects royalties. We have an expert grasp on the music law surrounding publishing.

The collection of royalties is often a topic of legal debate between artists, labels, publishers and those who license music. There are concrete music industry laws and regulations that deal with the distribution of royalties – we have a nuanced understanding of these and can provide advice that ensures your label and artists are compensated fairly.
