Tweet Share
More and more often in today’s industry, hit songwriters are leveraging  their success by forming independent publishing companies.  Music industry executives and songwriter entrepreneurs will shed light on the ins and outs of working together to create and run a successful publishing company and discuss the legal aspects and agreements associated with forming such companies.


This session is part of the Entertainment & Technology Law Conference
With the recent passage of the Music Modernization Act, and of course the ever-changing technological landscape, Music Biz’s Law Conference aims to give our attendees a road map to navigate the shifting legal path that lies ahead. This year’s multi-faceted program notably will feature the first keynote from Mitch Glazier since taking the helm as Chairman and CEO of the RIAA, and will bring law experts together with major players from all facets of the industry to discuss a range of issues including: the legalities of starting your own publishing company, the pros and cons of independent distribution versus working with a record label, managing celebrity estates, and how the use of AI in songwriting will affect copyright law.


Today’s program will be hosted by Fox Rothschild LLP and its entertainment law partners Ken Abdo, Lori Landew, Tim Mandelbaum and Michael Reinert who will emcee the program and answer any questions about the firm and its services.


Five CLE Credits have been approved by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education.


Coffee will be served until 11 AM.
