ABSTRACT

If you find daunting the prospect of dealing with so many legal issues, take heart. You can do this.

Having worked with many different kinds of artists in my law practice, it has been my experience that producers, more than any other type of artist, tend to grasp legal concepts the quickest. Perhaps it’s because in many ways, a producer’s job and a lawyer’s job are similar: both jobs involve negotiating, lining up alternatives, creating contingency plans, and making the best of emergency situations.
