Formulating Song Contracts -

Description:

Music attorney and educator Russell Rains works with Loyola University, New Orleans student Kelvin Brown to work through some of the legal aspects of establishing his company, Third Shift Productions, LLC. They discuss why establishing a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) or similar entity can help shield you from personal liability in business dealings, why seeking legal advice is generally a good idea when founding a company as an antidote to casual advice or “homeboy business,” why wearing multiple hats (e.g. record company, booking agent, producer and publicist) can open you up to lawsuits, and much more.
