The Jurisdiction

It is advisable to contact a lawyer when you are about to sign deals. You can follow our recommended links for this. It will benefit you in the long run to have everything set up properly from the beginning. Set up contracts with everyone to avoid future conflicts. Many great teams have split up because of this.

For songwriters and producers we do not recommend exclusive deals, as, in our experience, it is rare that anything positive will come of it. It will only limit you to one collaborator, who won't be enthusiastic enough about the majority of your songs anyway. It will be better to let several publishers and record companies work with that part of your work that they really believe in. Let them prove themselves by working on a piece of your material. If they do it well, you will extend your co-operation.
