POV: You've been asked to create artwork for a much-anticipated album!


Our client's true story:

Then an emerging visual artist from the Midwest, our client was asked to provide the artwork for an established musician’s upcoming album.

Creative Law Network was called on to negotiate with the musician’s management and record label for contract negotiation and copyright protection.

  • While our client was sure to be paid for his work, we helped him retain his copyright ownership.

  • He also retained the rights to release limited edition prints of the artwork while restricting the label’s rights to only for circumscribed uses. 

  • This resulted in increased leverage and profits for our client.

And here's the win-win: The album went on to win two Grammy® awards and catapulted our client into the public eye.

When the band breaks up...


What are the biggest band breakups of all time?

Never, ever, getting back together?

Music history is filled with messy band breakup stories, but it doesn't have to be that way. Our client's story is living proof.

He was a dedicated member of a respected band with no less than a Grammy® award-winning leader! Aiming for an amicable parting, he asked for our legal support in discussing the terms with the band, represented by a premier Nashville law firm.

The outcome—our client parted ways with the band:

  • holding onto his copyrights

  • getting paid what he was due, and

  • continuing to receive revenue from his prior work.

Breakups can be tricky. But by recognizing and valuing the relationships involved and treating the process with care, they can all end on a good note.
