Legal Costs

Without question one of the most important matters that can be overlooked or even run away with itself is ‘budgeting’ for your legal requirements throughout your recording/publishing matter. Nowadays money is tighter than ever before and wasting funds on areas of business can postpone and sometimes even cancel any plans you have for any future projects.

Legal costs can run into thousands. There is no point it suggesting anything else. BUT with solid advice and tempered planning costs can be kept to a minimum with maximum protection against Copyright Infringements, Songwriting Disputes, Management Agreements, Recordings Agreements, Licensing Contracts or Publishing Agreements.

A badly managed legal situation can have adverse affects on your career that can stop it in its tracks or even set you and your abilities back years, sometimes even stopping it entirely. Legal education is in my opinion the single most important area of education after understanding your musical talents and where you are selling them and what for.

At Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP we have taken a professional view that we will consider situations if the matter is manageable, winnable or we can settle the situation where all parties can walk away with a positive result? We will never ‘sugarcoat’ a situation or give advice that cannot be supported. We advise you what is needed to resolve your matter. We tell you if it can be resolved and we will Budget towards getting the best results possible for you and your matter.

We will consider payment plans if we feel the matter warrants consideration. We will expect something on account when we agree to take your matter but will not always expect you to afford huge sums up front.

We will consider part 'no win no fee' matters as and when the circumstances arise. All situations will be discussed in our initial no charge telephone consultation.
